WindowsXP and Mac OS X Dual Boot

Hey I have always like the look of Mac OS X and wondered what different ways i could install Mac. I want to know the advantages and Disadvantages between Dual Boot and a clean install of Mac OS X

Also, i heard that exe files can no longer be run on a Mac. If i Dual boot, will this fix it?
Thanks for the info in advance

 

As far as I know, you have to have a Mac computer to run Mac operating systems. I've never tried it nor ever heard of anybody trying it but my guess is that it wouldn't even install if it's not a Mac computer. That's the route Mac took since the beginning and as far as I know, that hasn't changed. They wanted to sell the whole works, not just the OS. Something they've paid the price for (IMHO) when Microsoft took the oposite approach. There's a reason Windows is so popular and that's most of it. You have to buy Mac hardware if you want to run their OS as far as I know.

The only thing I can think of is that there may be a Mac emulator out there that you can install on windows (sort of a virtual computer) and you could install it on that. I'm not aware of any though.

 

That needs clarification

Programs are "exe files ".

As an FYI, Windows that runs on Apple machines.

It Can be done

I know Mac OS X can be installed on an intel chip. A freind of mine has done it on his but i wanted setup a little differently.

I'll try a Mac Forum and see if i can find any answers

BTW, perhaps i did not make myself clear enough but i have a lot of .exe's that are installations. And wanted to knwo if they would still function under OS X.

Thanks for the help
