With a Mac, you essentially get two computers for the price of one. ;-)
The Mac can run Windows natively if you allocate a separate partition on it's disk drive. Apple provides the necessary drivers. When you boot, you choose whether to bootup into Mac OS or Windows.
The other method is to run a virtualization platform like VMware Fusion, Parallels Desktop, or VirtualBox. With these, you do not need a separate dedicated partition on the HDD for Windows. You just boot and run the Windows virtual machine 'on top of' Mac OS. This is extremely convenient for those times when you need to use Windows on the Mac. Since you have Mac OS and Windows running simultaneously in this scenario, it is super easy to switch back and forth or share files between the two environments.
For 'audiophile' use, the preferred method is to run Windows 'bare metal' natively on the Mac hardware, not through virtualization.
