It also requires that you have an Intel Mac, and I think yours is a PowerPC one, Liz. Allegedly Apple is working on a DLL set (program libraries) that will allow you to run Windows program directly on an OS-X/Intel machine. Intel architecture = Intel architecture, so theoretically it should be doable. One of the big questions is whether or not Microsoft will whack Apple upside the head with a law suit when they try to release them.
At least if you're dual-booting Win XP and Mac OS-X, MS is still getting their cut of the OS, whereas with just a set of DLLs, MS gets shunted out of the equation.
