Mac can run Windows, only with a special tool but I don't know something
more. When I bought laptop, it came with windows xp pro. When I tried to
install SL 4.4, it didn't let me to choose a partition in order to make a
dual boot, I could install SL 4.4 only in entire hard disk and I did it (I
erased windows). After, I tried to make it dual boot, I tried windows xp pro
(IBM has recovery data on partition that SL erased it), Suse 9.3, 10.1, 10.2
and every OS couldn't make installation, because couldn't find my hard disk.
I couldn't do anything. If I had SL 4.4 on my laptop, no other OS could be
in dual boot. I was ready to send laptop for service. I tried many live cds
for recovery with many tools for hard disk recovery and didn't work
anything. I was lucky that I had a windows 98 boot cd, I erased boot loader
and I installed other OS. Maybe I had this problem because laptop has
pci-express controller for hard disk. I don't know at all. I must also say
that I tried and SL 4.3 and I had the same problems.

OK, thanks for your reply. I was asking about Mac, because they have some
newer technology 
(and perhaps proprietary) kind of BIOS, and for example they state that
Windows can be run 
on a virtual machine only or something.

About "no other OS", if you are talking about Windows, didn't your laptop
come with an 
installation CD or something? What other OS did you try?
