Yes mac can run windows with bootcamp
Windows actually runs better than mac 0SX on a mac which was shown using benchmarks.

LOL it is never better to get a mac. Do you like playing games?overclocking?upgrading new components?using different software other than iwhocares? Then don't get a mac. Plus they are very expensive. And don't listen to any of the bs about macs security it is not the security of the mac it is the fact that none of the virus coders give a crap about the mac and its 8% of its users.

Also don't call me a fanboy because I am certainly not that, I completely understand how microsoft copies everything from mac.

/rant off

Wow I really got going lol

Well , it depends on what do you wanna do
The software for video editing works better on macs , but the truth is that they are kinda slow except for the powermac.
MAC= Design , video editing , music productin Windows= Everithing else

Buying a mac to run windows is pretty much pointless unless you just want the nice look & style.

Macs aren't for heavy gaming or OCing, but are very nice for pretty much everything else...especially multimedia creation/editing...

If your intent is to buy a Mac then by all means buy a Mac, they now support Windows 100% so you won't need a second machine or any emulation programs.

If your intent is to buy a computer that will just run Windows get a regular PC.
