Go to nearest PC store.

Install on mac using Bootcamp.
Stop asking for cracks.

No, only dangerous/free way.
If I were you I'd go the safe/cash way.

Isint that whole point of having a mac or a pc, logic for mac and not for pc, why musicians choose betwee the two if they have enough money to be that lucky.
Only thing i can think you would want to do that is if example you had a undying love of deepblue glitch and cant use it on a mac so you want to change windows kinda thing which would still be crazy, im confused mate

I have Windows on my Mac using parallels. You can use coherence mode so that windows apps integrate fairly seamlessly with your mac apps. For me that is the best solution. I am sure there are "free" ways, but in order for that to be legal, some kind soul would need to give you the licences as they tend to cost money. I do own licences for both Windows and Parallels and do not want to give them to you, sorry.
As others have said, you shouldn't really post on a music software forum suggesting you are looking for cracked software. It suggests that you may be comfortable using cracked software which may mean you are using a cracked version of the software sold by the company that run the forum. Of course, I would not suggest such a thing.

Parallels is great.

The way the question is worded it’s almost as if they feel installing Windows on a Mac is like installing a virus.

Unfortunately it is necessary as some apps do not exist for a mac - particularly any that used Rosetta after you update to Lion. And whatever people say about Lion, you have to update at some stage. All I would say is that when you need to run an app on Windows, parallels in coherance mode is great.
