 How about Parallels, VMWAre Fusion or Virtual Box?

You can also get to it in: OS X by going to Sys Preferences - Startup Disk Windows - click on the BootCamp icon in the system tray All three allow you to run Windows in a virtual machine within OS X. If you're doing it for a game, 3D modeling, etc., you're going to want to keep using BootCamp. For most other stuff a VM is fine. Virtual Box is the only one that is free - VMWare (imho) is probably the best of the three. I cannot be held responsible for the things that come out of my mouth.
