  Parallels will enable you to install Windows onto a Mac, and from there you can install anything that normally runs on Windows.

  I don’t have any mac computers but have read a few threads on different forums, either Parallels or Bootcamp will allow you to run windows on a mac, have a look at this link

  If you introduce yourself in the say hello section & tell people a little about who you are & what you do then you will get a better response to any questions you ask.

  VM Ware Fusion works really well on a mac, its basically windows in a window but everything connects through like printers cutters etc. The good thing is when you plug a usb device in Fusion asks if you want mac or windows to control the device which is an advantage over some other products. You can also integrate it with Mac and have both desktops in one but I prefer it in a window.

  Not sure on the software you use but never found anything that didnt work plus you can trial fusion first, got it on all macs, just install, click new and choose what operating system you want to install, the rest is just like a normal windows install except its in a window and when finished everything on the mac side like printers etc are all configured on the windows side ready to use.

  Regards

  Kevin

  In school The kids would make MACs dual boot
  It would have windows installed then the regular MAC OS

  But I believe this was done in Intel based MACs

  Second option would be to run Windows Ghost it will allow you to run a virtual version of windows on your MAC.

  Hope this helps
