hey guys im curious to know if i can install a windows Os on a mac computer.

thanks in advance.

Some people make things happen, some people watch things happen, while others wonder what happened.
 
You can use a product such as MS Virtual PC to run an emulated installation of Windows. Be aware that while it's an excellent simulation of a PC, it's very slow.

You'll need a license for that copy of Windows, or if you subscribe to MSDN you can use one of the ones you get through it.

Or wait a few months until you can buy one of the x86 Macs which will allow multiple OS's to boot from - Mac, Windows, Linux - and you should get acceptable speeds in all environments.

soi la, soi carré
