Yes, you read the title correctly.

But I'm talking about running windows, on a Mac.

Recently, I was invited, by a fellow Mac user to try out the version of windows she had installed as a second OS on her Mac. (A second OS - she didn't abandon Mac, but a program she needed, for work, was windows only, and not even crossover could help) and I have to tell you, I was impressed. I have spent more time with windows than I ever wanted to, ( I end up fixing them for just about everyone I meet) but this was the cleanest running version I have ever seen. It turns out that not only do Mac's do OSX well, but they even run Windows better than most PC's I have come across. Its one thing when you do your own job well, but to do the competitions too! It was too much. Just another reason to love my Mac.

Two final notes:

1) My research indicates that you can have a hybrid Mac/Linux system (Tiger and Ubuntu - My dream machine)

2) While you can put Windows on a Mac, every one of my attempts to do the reverse (Put OSX on a windows machine) has been a dismal failure. I called apple care, they swear there is a way, but cant tell me how. Apparently it is some kind of an infringement on Billy Boys copyright. (Jerk)
