The answer is sort of in your question. "I have a disc that can only be installed on microsoft ". However, you could setup a dual boot system if your new Mac is capable. There is a program called Boot Camp, and another called Paralell

Well first of all, things don't get installed on/for a Microsoft...Microsoft programs get installed either into a Mac or a PC. If your program is for a mac then yes u can install it on another mac computer assuming the system requirements r the same and it's not copyrighted for only one use. The same thing for PC's, but Mac and PC programs r usually not compatible. Sometimes u may find a program that can be installed on either/both. Check the system requirements on the box or disc, they'll tell u what u can and can't install it on.

Actually yes you can, Apple has released a program entitled boot camp which can basically program windows into a Mac. Now I do not know how much it is, but it is out there and seems like the program you need. Well, there you go.

there is something called "boot camp" that I've heard about that can allow you to run windows programs on Macs. Google it and maybe you'll find something. Sry I don't have more info :-\
