The product you are talking about is called "Windows 7". The Mac also had a "System 7" many years ago, and those of us who have been around long enough to know about it will assume you are talking about some method of running old 68K Mac software on an Intel Mac, if you mention "System 7" in the same context as "Mac OS X 10.6". -- David Empson dempson(a)actrix.gen.nz
