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 Smile

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.

http://www.apple.com/macosx/compatibility/

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 Sad

Hope that helps.
