Any new Mac with Intel processors will allow you to run Windows

I'd like to add Crossover to Harry's informative list.
CrossOver Mac 6.0
Your Windows Applications, Seamlessly Integrated on Mac OS X
http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/
Crossover runs Windows Apps without Windows, however not all Win Apps
are currently supported.
http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/
CodeWeavers CrossOver Compatibility Center (C4)
Mission Statement
CodeWeavers' goal is to make Unix (including Linux and Mac OS X) a fully
Windows-compatible operating system. All Windows applications should be
able to be run on Unix: cleanly, harmoniously, within the native environment,
and without using an emulator. To that end, we maintain this Compatibility
Center. Here, you can learn the exact status of any given Windows
application vis-a-vis Wine. We also hope that you will join us in helping to
support your application in Wine.
That is another solution. I often don't include it since compatibility
is so low, but if the Windows application you want to run is one of the
lucky ones litsed (or works if you try it yourself), then it may be a
good solution.
There are of course other freeware / shareware options as well, but
they are usually more difficult to set up and less compatible than the
"official" solutions to running Windows on a Mac.

Hopefully helping harassed humans happily handle handiwork hardships ;o)
