Virtual PC is also an option.

I really wish ALL software were made for both systems, but I found I was cutting my nose off to spite my face by refusing to run some Windows type software. Check out Boot Camp and Virtual PC.
Candace,

When I initially purchased my macbook, I did check out these products. But there's very little I do that requires Windows. And it just seemed so odd to put Windows on an Apple machine. If I really needed Windows-based programs that badly, I'd buy a windows machine.

I'm not against Windows, generally; I'm just against running it on a Mac. ;-)
