Regular Windows CDs (with Joliet filesystem, which is the standard filesystem) will mount just fine. So a Mac (and practically any other OS I know of) can read windows cds. If you need to run a windows app, then that obviously won't work.

What kind of CD is it? Are you just looking for files or what?

You cannot run Windows software on anything but Windows, unless you use emulators such as VPC.
