I thought that one of the benefits of an Intel Mac was that it could run anything a PC could run as well as all the Mac software.
Obviously your are not aware of the fact the binaries depends of the operating system !
Hey, Mac users keep telling me that a Mac can run anything Windows can. Are you saying that they are lying?
What Noelle is telling you is that Windows can be installed on a Mac, not that the operating system that comes with a Mac is Windows-compatible. The difference is that out of the box, a Mac can't run Windows programs, but Windows can be installed on that Mac in a number of different ways. Via virtualization, or on a seperate partition - or even by removing Mac OS X completely and running only Windows on the machine (a bit foolish perhaps, but possible).YouDontNeedToKnowButItsNoëlleJ.

But yes, an Intel mac can run any current operating system you like. Then the system can execute the executable. So use the Windows version.
You can either use parallels ( you have to pay for it) to have different system at at the same time, or bootcamp that is free, to alternate. In any case, you have to buy a Windows licence, and they are not cheap.
In other words a Mac can't run anything Windows can? Do tell.
But, you still need to purchase a Windows license to run Windows and thus Windows applications. So while possible, it may not be economical in all instances.
