I think there is something called Boot Camp that allows Apple PCs to run
Windows apps.

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.

You can also get VirtualBox from Sun for free. It will run
just about any X86 OS on an X86 Mac. However, I don't think
it will run MacOS on a PC. I've used it to run Ubuntu Linux
on a PC because I needed to run a particular flavor of
GCC compiler and was tired of lugging around a separate
laptop with Ubuntu.
