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.

and they're absolutely correct. however, nobody said it would be free. you almost certainly need to buy windows itself and possibly parallels or vmware.

it's possible to use crossover but that's more of a crapshoot. a few apps work, but most don't.

Are you saying that they are lying?

nobody is lying, other than you, that is.

YouDontNeedToKnowButItsNoëlle
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.

of course it can. a mac can run mac, windows and unix software, all simultaneously, sharing data between all of the apps. no other computer can do that.
