Yea. One of the biggest problems with Macs in an office environment
is that there are a LOT of required apps that are Windows-only.
Running them on a Mac, under a PC emulator (if they run at all), is a
horrible experience - abysmally slow, crashy, etc. And IT departments
sure don't want to put both a Mac and a PC on someone's desk. Being
able to switch-boot Macs into a full-speed full-featured Windows will
be a boon for Macs in those environments.
I won't be suprized to see many office Macs running Windows normally,
then booted into OS X temporarily/periodically just to run specialized
apps.
And within a year, I hope to see some virtualization software become
available - so you can have both OS X and Windows running at the same
time...

Personally, I'd like to know why this discussion is even going on here.
By definition this list is for discussion of G-processor based Macs.
MacIntels are NOT G-processor based Macs, and as such are OT for this
group. And discussion of running Windoze on them is even further OT! Can
we get back to talking about actual G-series Macs? If you guys want to
discuss these issues, start another list and talk about them there. I'm
tired of hearing about Intel and Winblows! That's not what this list is
here for.
