Mac OS X 10.5.6

Isn't that the Leopard system that can run both Windows and Mac programs?

Serious question threads never get answered.

If you mean the one that can run Windows programs via Boot Camp, yes. No Mac OS can natively run Windows software though.

There's also Wine, which works on most Mac operating systems IIRC. Darwine is the code name of the OS X port/version.

Like said, no Mac can natively run Windows. Maybe you mean Linux? Though I thought all Macs could run all Linux programs.

Boot Camp. Emulation/Virtual Machine (i.e. VMWare or VirtualBox). Or Wine.

Or Parallels (Virtualization and Automation Solutions for Desktops, Servers, Hosting, SaaS - Parallels)

EDIT:: I have used Parallels in the past on a machine I had my hands on for a few weeks. It's very nice, I like it, if you have a spare $80 for Desktop 8 for Mac, buy it.
