I was not aware that Windows could run on a Mac. Is this something recent or has it always been this way?

Since Mac went with intel-based processors, I think.

Intel based Macs can run all Windows OS’s.

My own has XP.

I think it's been that way since Apple switched to Intel processors.

This would be great for a Mac vs. PC parody.

There are a number of ways to partition drive space to allow for more than one operating system to "live" on a machine.

Apple has been including a cut down boot loader app called "Boot Camp" that allows you to partition your Mac to allow Linux or Windows to be installed on the new partition.

I'm currently typing this on the Snow Leopard side of my MacBook Pro. Last night, I had it on the Win 7 side playing with some of the power settings.

We recently have been planning on setting up a 30 seat, 27" iMac lab... This info is very good to know BEFORE I place the order with Apple.

I'll still probably order them though. For the screen alone they are almost worth it...

The ability to run windows on Macs has been around for a while, not forever though:)
