Or, you'd need to run a virtual machine (vmWare, Parallels, Virtualbox, etc) or bootcamp, which will let you install Windows as a dual boot. This should be over in the Mac OS section btw, since i devices won't run Lion, or Windows. mike This machine kills fascists Got # ? phear the command line! |

No you cannot run Windows applications with any flavor of OS X. However, just as with previous versions you have the option of installing Windows in a partition and use Bootcamp to switch between, or you can use Parallels or VM Fusion to set up Virtual Windows machines. So, the Yes is you can run Windows applications. EDIT: See this link for more info on running Windows on your Mac Running Windows on a Mac: A Switcher's Guide Of course, I know everything . . . I just can't remember it all at once.

I cannot be held responsible for the things that come out of my mouth. In the Windows world, most everything folks don't understand is called a virus. Place your vote for our Member of the Month |
