when youu install bootcamp on your mac, can you use all the windows programs on it, like acrobat reader, etc?

After you install Boot Camp and Windows XP, you can install and run Windows programs such as Acrobat Reader. (BTW, Acrobat Reader is also available for OS X.) When using Boot Camp, you choose at startup whether to run OSX or Windows, not both at the same time.

You can't wipe the Mac OS off completely, but you can run an emulated Windows XP environment from within the OS. Apple themselves have recently released software called "Boot Camp" that allows Mac users to do just that. This was big news when it was announced. You should be able to download a trial now from Apple's website (http://www.apple.com). There's also other provides of OS emulation software (or virtualisation software). VMWare (http://www.vmware.com) currently offer their VMWare Server application free for download - I *think* this runs on Macs too. The software allows you to create virtual machines based around a variety of OS's including Linux and Windows XP. \n\nHope that's helped.\n\nH

There's this guy named Dave Taylor who operates a help website that's pretty decent.  This link might give you the help you need:\n\nhttp://www.askdavetaylor.com/how_do_i_install_windows_xp_on_my_mac_using_boot_camp_1.html\n\nplrr

Yes you can use gcc on windows, but NOT as a standalone application. You will need to install either:\nCygwin: http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/   or\nMinGW:  http://www.mingw.org/

Anyone who says, "don't buy a Mac" I would venture to guess has never owned a Mac.  I use both, Mac for personal and graphics and a Dell PC for work, only because I have to use proprietary programs that do not support Mac.  Trust me, I can't wait to get back on my Mac.  As for your question, buy the Mac Pro, then you can dual boot and use both Mac OS and Windows

Its really very Simple. If you buy a mac u can always install windows xp on the same machine. But if you buy a pc u can't install Mac OS X, iLife 06 and all great stuff from Apple and for apple. So, its very easy to decide.U can get a mac instead of a PC and when u like mac u can put windows as an option.\n \nBuying a Mac Advantage:-\n        - Mac OS X, iLife, easy to use and well integrated softwares\n        - Less viruses or almost no viruses.\n        - Can install Windows Xp - same as having a PC in Mac :)\n        - PC virus can't doing anything to Mac. so even windows xp          in the mac is affected with virus still mac is intact. ;)\n\nBuying a PC :-\n        - No Mac OS X, No great user experience, no iLife, only a pc which a Mac already has in it.\n       - Virus attacks then whole life is ruined\n\ni'm mac user for 12 years... U will love your mac when u buy and start using it and Windows XP is always an option on  a Mac with boot camp ;)

Well, you could buy a program called VirtualPC. VirtualPC emulates Windows (any version you want) and you will be able to run any Windows (PC) program on your Mac. Since you actually are running another operating system on your computer, you will be using some hard drive space, RAM, and ROM.

ok i think i understand what your trying to say. is  you are running mac osx and want to start running windows xp inside your mac osx account.\n\nif this is the case you can either buy virtual pc which is a windows emulator made by microsoft so it works just as poorly as normal windows will. \n\nor you can buy Microsoft office PRO for mac which is also made by microsoft for mac this includes virtual pc and all the office applications.

Nope, but Apple has software available that lets you run Windows on an Apple computer.

Yes ofcourse.\nThere are emulators that can do that.\nBut all of them are in development stage and therefore not reliable.\nSo there is no official Mac emulator for windows.\nBut there are other Mac softwares that are also available for windows.\nLike iTunes. Use them if u like.

On the brand new Macs ( http://www.apple.com ) you can. You can on the older ones too with extra software.

Download it in Windows format. MAC and Windows are not interchangeable so the only way around this is to go back and download it in the right format. If you paid for it, you will need to contact the people you bought it from and explain the problem and pray that they are sympathetic!

sort of, as far as i know it is not possible, but you can run an emulator, a sort of fake Mac on windows, i dont think it is 100% but you can use basilisk http://basilisk.cebix.net/#download but i think its a little complicated so unless your an experienced user or know someone who will help i would do A Lot of research first and always BE CAREFULL

There isn't. Mac OSX is entirely different from Windows and there is no chance the download would work on Windows. Plus those programs are mac exclusives so there's no PC Windows version either.

You could install mac OSX in a virtual machine - then run your programs there.\n\nIt would be a lot of work, and the performance would really suck, but you could do it.\n\nI've included a link to a website with instructions, if you're interested.
