Microsoft on an Apple? Wizardry indeed.

There are only so many acceptable types of computers for a wizard to use:

A cabinet sized mainframe running SunOS, OS/2 Warp or any other esoteric OS
Linux anything
A PC running a version of windows older than ME that is somehow perpetually stable
A hackintosh
A glowing orb that somehow manages to run a JVM

Don’t forget the downsides though.

SunOS can be greatly affected by celestial powers
Linux requires learning various tongues, some old, and some that change during the speaking of them
This windows PC is indeed stable but only if it is left alone and isn’t in any way made to journey outside its home.
The hackintosh is literally begging for Dark forces to cast spells of binding on you. Use, but do so quietly and at your own risk.
That glowing orb only works as long as The Oracle grants you leave to use it though.

All Intel MacBooks literally had a product called Boot Camp that let you dual boot into Windows (sold separately)

Here’s the spell that can be used to accomplish this:

We gave it away. As a certified master of the arcane arts and practitioner of magick I have no patience for petty tasks like installing your software.

There are orbs to collect and weaves to comprehend!

... as a result please reach out to my associate Peregrin, you can reach them at foolofa@took.shire - yes, I do still handle account management, why do you ask?
