| Yes, it is indeed possible to load Windows XP (and Windows Vista, should it ever actually be released) on the new Macs. They now use the same Intel processors that Windows computers do, so it will run at the same speed and catch viruses just a quickly as its Dell counterparts.
Additionally, a good amount of the Wharton software is available on Macs. The Microsoft Office suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook--though Outlook is called Entourage) is available. The statistics software (JMP) is also compatible with Mac OS X.
And should you run into anything that in fact isn't compatible, Windows XP is there waiting for you. |
