I don't know if I fully understand your question. Which version of Windows do you want? You can get Windows at any retail store or online store. If you are asking for the illegal kind then that discussion is not allowed on this forum.
If you are asking about installing older versions of Windows such as XP then you can buy the XP for System Builders SP2 if you can't find the full retail version. That's what I did because I wanted XP and not Vista or 7. It's the cheapest legal way to get Windows on your Mac.
The downside of using system build installers is that you can't transfer the product key to a new computer. It's permanently tied to the computer you install it on. The retail version of Windows allows you to transfer ownership to a different computer.
