Is it true that apple computers can't run some programs that are important for engineering?

I'm looking for a laptop, and planning to go into engineering. I have 2 questions:



1. I've heard that there are some programs that you would need for engineering, and that they just work on windows not mac's. Is this true?



2. I've also heard that to get around this problem, you can install windows on your mac computer. If you do this could you still use apple to go on the internet, therefore decreasing the chances of getting a virus?



I am adding this to ''engineering'' instead of, say, ''computers'' because i would assume that engineers and engineering students would be the best to answer this question because they would KNOW what they themseleves use.



thanks ^_^

Most engineering and even cad software doesn't work on mac.Over all macs are slower than pc. As for a virus get a virus scanner keep auto updates turned on. I havn't caught a virus in 10 years.



Then again are you really going to have money to buy engineering software? For the cost of say solidworks for 10% more you can buy a laptop just for it.OR if you by fluent im sure they would give you a laptop for free haha
