Apple OS X is now in its 7th version and therefore it is helpful to list version of OS X as well as machine specifications. OS X is based of an Operating System call BSD-Unix, which is similar to Linux, this is completely different to any version of Windows The only way to install Windows Software on OS X is to use an emulator like: http://www.codeweavers.com/products... Googling is quicker than waiting for an answer....

There are three ways to get Windows programs working on a mac. 1. Use an emulator (Answer #2) 2. Buy a windows licence and use bootcamp to make the mac dual-boot between OSX and Windows. 3. Buy a windows licence and use a virtual machine like parallels, VMWare fusion, or VirtualBox Max OS does not support windows programs directly, so one of the above options are the only ways to go.
