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.


Yep... you have to reboot to use it. But, there are plenty of emulators out
there that work side-by-side with MacOS.

The problem is that none of the emulators allow you to run ALL of the
other guy's software. Wine, for example allows Linux machines to run
some Windows software as does the Apple emulator. Any foreign software
that directly accesses hardware, use a dongle, or any other fancy anti
theft devices, won't run under the emulator.

The other emulator problem is INPUT and OUTPUT.....something always doesn't
work just right.....ports, audio, video, etc.....
