Well, isn't *that* special.

So, what's the difference between a Mac running Windows (I've read that it
can) and a PC running Windows?

It's an emulation and not a strict operating system as I understand
it. Kind an overlay.

Personally, I find Macs very hard to use. It takes a particular mind
set to operate a Mac compared to Windows.

There is nothing "intuitive" about a Mac operating system.

"Intel-powered" Macs have the potential for booting from Mac OS X or for
Windows XP and Windows Vista. However, you can't just stick a Windows
installation disc into a Mac and expect it to install. You need to first
install Apple's Boot Camp on the Mac. Boot Camp will create a separate
partition on your hard disk for Windows. (Boot Camp installer assistant
"dynamically creates" the Windows partition for Windows, so you won't lose
your Mac data). Boot Camp also provides Windows drivers to support the Mac
keyboard and various hardware and peripherals from within Windows. (Boot
Camp does not provide Windows; you'll need to supply your own copy.)
