It's my understanding that Boot Camp allows Apple PCs to run the Windows
OS, and along with it, Windows apps. Apples, at least some of them, are
now Intel based, but, apparently, run a different BIOS that Windows
doesn't support. Boot Camp just allows you to dual boot. There is also
Parallels, which will run Windows inside a virtual machine, so you can
run the Mac OS and Windows at the same time.
