I am wondering if you can get the mac os x and be able to wirelessly connect it to the internet. When at my house the main network is through a windows computer.

There's no such thing as a "windows network" or a "mac network"
WIreless networks are governed by the 802.11 spec...
Both mac and pc operating systems comply, as does the hardware for both... so both mac and PC can use the same wireless network

the "internet" is not a "windows" network. Just because you are not using an Airbase does not mean your mac will not work. Wireless N and Wireless A,B,G are Wireless standards, not apple or Window standards. You can hook any wireless adapater up to any compatible wireless base station irregardless of Operation system..

Shouldn't matter as far as the wireless router goes. As long as your MAC uses the internet protocols. In fact the internet is run on Linux or Unix, not Windows or MAC OS X.

Yes a macbook has built in wireless. I don't know what you mean by "my house the main network is through a windows computer."
