As wideboy says look into Virtual PC, but it's not cheap and if you have an older Mac it might not be powerfull enough to run it

if you really need those programs, there may be mac versions of the programs you are after.

you can't use them on a mac, because windows-based pcs use x86 processors (intel ones, etc.), and macs (currently) use powerPC chips. the two are different, so its like trying to speak English to the Japanese: its not gonna work.

some programs, however, come on hybrid CDs that contain both the mac and windows data. see if your CDs are of that kind.
