    I have an iBook G4, and I want windows, but can't dual boot it or anything.

    Is there any way to just wipe out the harddrive and install windows clean on it?

    Thanks.

    Or switch to Linux. Hehe, Linux will work without any additional stuff, just make sure you download the right CD.

    Some distros you may try:

    ubuntu.com
    novell.com/linux

    Not exactly what you were looking for, but if you are tired of Mac, you can give those a shot.

    You can emulate windows, but not run windows OS unless you have one of the newer Intel based macs
