    it's possible, but it's illegal AFAIK and therefore no one will tell you how to go about doing it on this site anyways.

    Windows on a mac is another story, You'll need a valid copy of windows, Look in2 bootcamp

    The best way to evaluate another os on a windows PC would be to download a copy of vmware server, which is free when you register with them and create a virtual machine using a LEGAL copy of the OS you wish to test.
