    are a few things you could try then run Windows XP on them. A virtual PC is basically like running windows in a virutal environment like a program. You will need a copy of windows to install in one of these virtual environments.

    And no you won't be able to find any of those in the "Apple Store" LOL!

    I have tried vmware fusion, parallels, virtual box and other virtual applications for mac, none of them work at all,, you have to install Windows through bootcamp.

    I have been running it on my MacBook for quite a long time now; I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit running on VMWare Fusion and it will recognize the MPVI with no problem.
