Right now, there are three ways (although one is beta).

1. Bootcamp (freeware), a dual-boot technology. 2. Parallels ($80.00), a VM
technology that has gotten great reviews and which I purchased but haven't
installed (no Windows OS software purchased yet).
3. The new VMware beta (no price announced as yet).

You need an Intel Mac for any of these to work.
