You don't need windows to get it, but you need windows to run it.
You can get it by going to any local technology store and asking for a copy of windows. Expect to spend around $100 though.

Walmart and any major department store with an electronics section should have Home Premium and maybe Professional. You can purchase a key and download an .iso file online as well.
Note that you can do a full clean install of windows with an upgrade version, which is cheaper than the full version. You just need to qualify as an upgrade (which is generally just owning a prior version of windows, but I'm not sure on the details). You can also buy an OEM version for less than a retail copy if you need the full version.
Installing the OS twice from an upgrade disc will fool the OS into thinking that it's a valid upgrade. There's also a registry entry that can be flipped to accomplish the same thing.

I don't think the OP is asking for instructions on purchasing Windows. I think s/he is asking about installing it on a Mac...

Not necessarily. I have a legit copy of Windows 7 upgrade, and a legit license of Windows XP. Do I really want to install XP and then upgrade to 7 on my Mac? No way... what's the point? Nothing illegal done. If nothing else, it's a good tip for reinstallation.
It's like the Snow Leopard thing. The $30 version was an upgrade version, but not everyone who bought it was actually upgrading from Leopard.
