I need a bit of help.
How do you make "Only Mac-compatible" applications work on the "Pimped out PC"?

Hmmm...Well I haven't Actually Tried that out, but ill still give it a shot helping you:

• Try Searching in Google "iWork for Vista" (Or anouter Mac app) and should be able to download it for free onto vista

• If you dont want to fiddle around with that, try searching "iWork Vista Patch" and should be able to download a app patch that will allow you to use that app (or anouther) work with vista

Tell me if you find anything.

If you need more help,

Just ask.

thankyou very much. I'm not always on google very long. Maybe if someone could try to beat me to find the link for the download of the "iWork Vista Patch" thingy.
