Unfortunately, putting Windows of any flavor on your Macbook is going
to make it vulnerable to Windows viruses and other malwares, so mind
your security situation.
Any viruses or malware will only infect the Windows environment - there
is NO possibility of them affecting the Mac side at all (with the minor
exception of a few rare MS Word / Excel viruses, which you can get even
if you're not using Windows on your Mac).
I don't think this is true. Any program you put on your computer can
potentially harm files even on the Mac system. They don't have to
INfect your Mac to do harm if they can AFfect your files.
