[QUOTE="mac57, post: 599741, member: 17052"] You can install Windows on the iMac, yes. To do this, you will need to get one of the new Intel iMacs, vs. perhaps buying a used G4 or G5 iMac. As long as you are buying a new machine, this will work just fine. You can either go the Boot Camp route (comes with Leopard), which lets you select to boot either Mac OS X or Windows at boot up time, or you can go the VMWare Fusion route, which lets you boot up Mac OS X and then startup Windows at the same time in a parallel virtual machine that runs on the same physical hardware. Both work well. If you purchase your Mac from [url]www.macconnection.com[/url], you can get VMWare Fusion and Windows XP pre-installed on your new Mac, which will come with both OS's installed and working. Yes, there are lots of Torrent clients for the Mac, and many are freeware. In general, you might wish to see [url= http://www.freemacware.com][B][COLOR="Blue"]this[/COLOR][/B][/url] massive list of freeware available for Macs - it is INCREDIBLE what you can get for free. Mac's unix heritage shines through here. I haven't used Torrents yet, so I can't recommend a good one, but I immediately found BitRocket on this page, which says it is a free Torrent client. Also, [url=http://azureus.sourceforge.net][B][COLOR="blue"]Azureus[/COLOR][/B][/url] seems to be very well regarded as a Mac Torrent client. [/QUOTE]
