I'm really wanting to run Windows on my Mac OS 10.6 so I can buy Publisher and actually use it, but I don't want to spend $200+ on buying windows.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a suggestion; if you don't want to get banned, don't imply software piracy in this forum again...

In the Windows world, most everything folks don't understand is called a virus.
