One thing to keep in mind is the old permutation problem with drivers and hardware on PCs. yes you can boot multiple OSs on the same pc, but they will be the same hardware/driver permutations. Ive been bitten in the ass before (but rarely with MC) by certain driver/hardware permutations that were only found when the product was tested in professional testing labs where they tried multiple hardware/driver configs with multiple OSs. if its a product for sale then you should seriously think about professional testing, customer support and returns cost you big $$ very fast (just ask Disney about the lion king CD!) A small permutation test will start at $2k and go up depending on how many systems you want and how much you have them bang on it in each system. so even if you get a pc set up with multiple OSs booting on it, you cant test for this problem.
ive tested many of my products on the mac side in apple's testing lab (free if youre a developer, just have to get yourself to cupertino ca) and never had a machine specific bug on the mac side, only OS specific. Same goes with customer bug complaints, far far fewer on the mac and never machine specific, where as on the pc there are always a few system permutations that just puke no matter how hard its tested... One reason i am always happer to work on the mac side of the universe and also another reason I love MC since these issues on the dark side are much, much fewer than other authoring systems!
