yes you can, there is some application u need in macbook. BootCamp is one of it, u can get it free from Apple.com website. this application u need to shut down ur macbook to run the windows OS. Parallel Desktop, is one of this kind of application, but it can run windows OS during u using MacOS.

Need not buy an Apple and then run windows, sounds funny. I use Parellel and it works fine. After a while u would not want to run windows becos Mac is so much more better. It is course possible to run Windows only with Boot Camp where u have to partition the HD

Using Coherence is the best!!! |

i run mac most of the time .
i just dont feel like going back to windows if there is no software limitation . my coursemates who alwasys see me using macbook say they might get a mac becasue it seems to work very nice with the user and very user friendly . i have to say , YES , it is very very user firnedly once u get used to it . compared to xp , yes ... it works ddamn well ... more like a part of your soul . anyway , i stil got parallels running becasue i still need some applications like Windows PowePoint ... i just scare some iwork elements wont fit on pp . i just run it maybe 1 in 1 month ? hehehe... just for some formal work on it . anyway , i just allocate 256mb for it only . btw , i have to say , mac is really user friendly . dont listen to those crap who say mac is hard to use . the fact remains as they just dont feel like trying it out and they just too kepala keras. |

1. Yes its possible
2. Unless you want a really expensive windows machine that will look good but run like any other windows machine I don't see the point 3. Refer to 2. But honestly once you use MacOSX and I mean like really get into it without bias, you will love it. 4. Why not use the Mac version of PowerPoint? I use it all the time and I have no problems sending files back and forth and collaborating with my windows using classmates. |
