Hello, im just new to this forum and am just new to apple Mac's. I used on two weeks ago in my college and have fallen in love with them and am excited to own a Macbook. Ive been asking questions on Yahoo Answers about Apple Mac and other Microsoft Products such as Visual Basic which i will be needing for part of my ICT Course.

On asking a compatibility question i received the following answer:

Assuming you bought a good Mac (2-4G RAM, high processor) you can install parallel desktops for two OSs or run the boot manager of one os at a time.

Then get XP or Vista, preferably XP with lesser resources than Vista uses. Afterwards you can use a Rocketfish Windows Mac keyboard and get the program installed to use.

Note that running two OSs use more resources than one OS. So if you have a good Mac no problem. Another solution is two have two PCs like some people do for say a router admin PC and client PC. Or a PC and a MAC for the pleasure of using both.

Correct me if im wrong but does this answer mean that my Apple Mac can register multiple OS's to the Apple computer system? If so is this function comparable to Microsoft Vista's and Xp's multiple user function, only of course with different OS's?

Please define what this answer meant more clearly if you can, thanks
