Answer 1

You can use Boot Camp. Boot camp comes with OS and the setup instructions are given in the links below:



Boot camp for lion

If you want to run Windows and OS concurrently, you will need to use a vitalization software. The two most popular paid apps are Parallels and VM Ware Fusion. Both have their keen supporters. If your needs are basic, then I think both will work.



You can also download a free app called Virtual Box. This is open source. I am not sure how it performs.

On all the above (Boot Camp and Vituarlization) you will need to have a copy of the Windows OS (XP, Vista 7).
