No, for the same reason you can't put woodchips in your car's gas tank and expect it to run.

The guts (processor/mothboard, etc) of a mac don't follow the same specifications that windows PCs use. Microsoft would have to specificallyu program windows to run on a mac, and even then you wouldn't be able to use any windows programs because the guts are just too different. Anyways, we have os x so windows would be redundant.

No.
While Macs have been using more and more PC parts in recent years, the architectures are still totally different in many ways. To give one example, the processors -essentially the "brain" of the computer- are totally different. A Mac doesn't "know" how a PC thinks, at least without special software, and it is in fact not possible to write software to teach a PC how a Mac thinks, because of some of the differences in the processors. Well, I suppose you could do it, but it would be extremely slow, to the point where your average top-of-the-line PC would probably emulate no faster than an eight year old Mac.

The "best" you could do is install Virtual PC on your mac, and run Windows on top of Mac OS.
