You can run anything on a (Intel) Mac. I'm running XP and OSX.
Don't you have to run a virtual machine(seems like a hassle)? I'm pretty retarded in that area. Guess I gotta read up about it.

No you don't... you can if you want to, and most people do. But Apple came out with what they call 'Bootcamp' which lets you partition your HD and you can install windows on that other partition. Once that is done, reboot and hold down the Option key, and it will give you the choice between booting into OSX, or what ever else you installed. This could be XP, Vista, Windows 7, Linux, etc.
With bootcamp you don't run a virtual machine, instead you're running native. This has been possible ever since APPLE switched from PowerPC processors to the Intel chipsets. Now days a mac is just like any other PC hardware wise, what sets it apart is the design quility of the hardware, and OSX.
