Best Answer

The Mac OS (Apples's operating system) and Windows are two separate operating systems. Neither runs on top of the other, technically. However, there are emulators, both hardwired as well as software-based so that the Mac can run Windows software. Generally, you have to partition your hard drive on the Mac to accommodate both the Mac OS and the emulated Windows environments, then re-boot to exit the current operating system and enter the other.

You would have to check with the current emulation hardware and/or software specs out there to know for certain which Windows versions (i.e. XP, Vista, 7, etc.) are currently supported. You could either contact Apple directly (which almost always requires $), pick up a catalog, or do a search online for "Mac Software AND Hardware" to see what's available. Google is your friend, in this instance. Just remember to click on the "Shopping" link at the top of the page before you enter your search criteria or your search will yield countless web articles that are probably more than you're willing to read.
