Is it one of the intel ones? They're the only ones that can run windows I think........
No idea really, someone was telling me about the dual boot though and it does seem quite cool

You have got two options mate:
1. You can either use Bootcamp as long as it is an Intel based Mac. You then get the option to boot into Windows or OSX on start up.

OR
2. Use Parallels which is a virtual machine that runs at native speed and allows you to have windows running in a window inside OSX. It is really cool and runs at a good speed.

Parellels is my favourite option, but you have to pay for it
Hope that helps.
