Yes you can, you just need to use the program 'Bootcamp' (pre-installed in every Mac), and of course you also need an original copy of Windows.

You most certainly can. In some ways it is better tha OSX Mountain Lion. You need to install Bootcamp first, which you download from Apple free of charge. This creates a new partition on your disk drive called Bootcamp (C). This will be your Windows C disk on which you will install Windows. I recommend Windows 8 because it is superfast and excellent. I am running both W8Pro and Mountan Lion and they are both excellent. Windows makes a better job of text rendering than Mac does, but Mac is better for sound software, in my view. If you are using Macbook you have excellent text rendering.
