Answer 3

Because there is software only available to Windows users that Mac users are used to. For example, a business may require  two different software programs to run their business, but both require different operatings systems: one Windows and the other Mac. By using BootCamp or similar software to run a copy of Windows on your Mac, you can eliminate having to use two machines.

I myself am looking to get a copy of Windows XP to run on my iMac so I can play my old PC games and use other software that won't run on my Mac.
