You should go search BootCamp. It's a program (still in its beta version) that allows you to install Windows XP alongside Mac OS X. Its functionality is, last time I fiddled with it, near-perfect, so for all intents and purposes, you can run Windows XP on your Mac if you have trouble getting used to OS X. I myself am planning to do this when I get enough money to buy a Mac.Can i change mac OS x to windows vista if i want to?
you cant put windows on a mac because it is not compatible with mac
Hi, a Mac with OSX is great but Windows Vista is not going to install on it because Vista is an OS thatruns on pc's not a macintosh. Macintosh computer run on a differrent architecture than IBM (International Business Machine) computer. They are built on the IBM architecture. This is why windows will not install on it.



OSX has all the applications u need and more stability but if u r looking for ur favourite third party applications then I doubt all of them will work on Mac because many software makers only design their products for Windows. Some of ur favourite software might be on windows and that might be bothersome for you.



There is a Mac software called bootcamp which is like vmware or virtual pc for regular computers, and that will help u install Windows Xp only so far on top of Mac OSX meaning while u running OSX u can use that software to load WIndows Xp because it will emulate or make xp think its installed on a pc. To tell u the truth that will take up a hell lot of ur system resources and u will just waste ur time as the performance of Xp will suck *** so installing Vista with all its required resources is impossible.



In my opinion buy a Mac OSX if u want security, reliabilty, but u r willing to sacrifice some of ur favourite software and games that only come for Windows. Windows is pretty stable as well now though. Plus remember u r still going to to have to learn with Mac OSX so I say stick with windows its way better in the long run, but the decision is upto you.



Good Luck! If u have any questions just contact me.
I believe that Gangseter is mistaken.



In years gone by, his assertion that you can only run Windows on a Mac in emulation was correct. About two years ago, however, Apple switched to using Intel chips instead of PowerPC chips. Thus, you can now install and run Windows on an intel mac through bootcamp without the slowdown of emulation (like you'd get through virtualPC).



So, if you use bootcamp, you can indeed boot into either Mac OS X or whatever version of Windows you choose to install.
