No and yes. You can't run windows on a Power PC Mac. There's some Virtual PC software from ages back that emulates the x86 processor architecture necessary, but it never really worked well. I have it and I'll give it away, but it's not worth the effort. The newer versions require a minimum 1 GHz processor, anyway. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Vir...

Virtual PC 7 (I think the last version, company was purchased by m$) did run on PPC machine, however it was win95/ME/XP. It ran stable, but there were some things (particularly games) that didn't run or the hardware peripherals wouldn't be recognized. Maybe you could find it online (ebay or Craigslist) N .
rab if you're going to use this as a reference, how about negating the downvote you gave me on it ;-)

You can use software like Paralells to run windows inside mac OS, but windows cannot natively run on a mac, however they can run versions of linux.
