I'd like to have Virtual PC as an option as well. the only downside to that is that its limiting your resources. As you'd almost have two operating systems running along side each other. For the work I want to do I need the maximum amount of processing power and memory. For simpler tasks though Virtual PC would be great. In an ideal world Os X having the ability to run windows programs natively would be incredible, but I can't see it happening for a long time if ever sadly.
