[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1304425, member: 110816"] If the application you want to run can be done so with [URL="http://wiki.winehq.org/MacOSX"]Wine[/URL], then all you need is the Windows application (paid or not) to get going. If, however, you need to a bonafide version of Windows to run your application, then you will first need a copy of Windows, and then go the Boot Camp (dual-boot) route to have both MacOS and Windows installed or go the virtualization route with Virtualbox (free), Parallels ($70) or VMWare Fusion ($70) and then install Windows within a VM and your application inside that VM. Depending on your application needs, the VM might or might not fit the bill..in the end, you always have the solution of installing Windows natively onto your iMac and booting into it.. [/QUOTE]
