If the risk is the same and Windows can be infected as in a PC, then the Mac can be infected as well, especially if you will be sharing files between the two operating systems??

Windows viruses can not infect your Mac, sharing or no sharing.

Really. That is the big plus of the Unix operating system. If you doubt us you are on the wrong forum as chscag and chas m would not deceive you.

Of course I did not doubt anyone, so it is worth installing Windows in Mac? Do a lot of people have that installed?

The answer to that is really one only you can answer. Do you need it? Install it. If not, then don't waste your time installing it. While that may not be quite as complex as one might suspect, the ability to install Windows is really only there for people who have a need for it.
