I would like to install something on my MAC computer so that I can
run some programs that are only compatible with Windows... Is it
possible to do this? I have a Mac OS X. Thanks...

This isn't really the proper newsgroup for this question... (as you can
see in the title of the group, it's all about Entourage).


There are some options though (depending on which kind of Mac you have).


On a PPC Mac: you can install Wirtual PC. It'll allow you to emulate an
intel chip and run windows (slowly) inside MacOS X.

On an Intel Mac: several options:
- bootcamp: dual boot to reboot on a Windows partition at full speed and
native support
- Parallels/VMWare: allows you to ru Windows at pretty decent speed and
hardware support from withing MacOS X. Requires more or less twice as
much RAM (since you need RAM for MacOS X and RAM for WIndows).

They actually multi-posted this to comp.sys.mac.system as well, where
there are tons of helpful answers.
