Best Answer

Your options for this are relatively limited. The only way to run Windows applications without running a version of Windows in some form is with a compatibility library, such as Wine, CrossOver Mac, or Cider. These will generally have more limited compatiblity with Windows software than running a full operating system from Microsoft. Links to these software products can be found below.
