  The basics:
  Boot Camp (already on your machine), or
  Parallels Desktop, or
  VMWare Fusion.

  Then, installation of a full retail purchased version of Windows.

  Windows via Boot Camp requires dump out of Mac OS X and boot back up as a Windows box.

  Parallels and Fusion run Windows within Mac OS.

  Tons of info on the subject, starting at apple.com and elsewhere.
  “Apple-Windows on Mac” forum on the COW, and Tim Wilson article on the subject
