Hi
Well, if you don't have any special software that only runs on windows, I
can see no need to do this. Say, however, that you have a certain piece
of software that you need and it only runs on Windows and there's no real
Mac equivalent to it? Yet, you don't want two computers around. So you
make a small Windows installation and now you can run that program. I
know, it's difficult to imagine, but it is certainly possible--a
proprietary windows database that must be used for your job, for
instance, would fall under this category.
My only question is will Apple provide a filesystem driver so that you
can access all of your documents on your OS X partition under Windows?
Without this I can see its use being a bit of a pain, though still
doable. I don't have an Intel-based Mac or I'd try it for the hell of it.
But I now have an iron-clad excuse to sell my Windows PCs for good.
Finally! Then get myself a nice iMac.

Well, as someone who switched from the PC and Windows to the Mac I am
left wondering why I would want to even bother with this. Sure, there
might be a few things I can more easily do on a Windows based PC that
are more difficult on a Mac but this just sounds dumb to me. I see the
point made here that VR agencies and others might go for this but aren't
you making your beautiful Mac sesuptable to the very problems we are so
proud that our Macs are free of. Viruses, worms and the like. While my
Mac is pre-intel by a month or two, there is no way in hell I would put
Windows XP on one if I had one. Sounds very strange that anyone on this
list would support this. Sure, it was a neat contest to hack the
Windows and Intel Mac system and I'd try it too if I had the ability and
be happy if I walked away with the $13,000 prize that was out there.
But, its been done and so what. I'm just not sure why you would do this
at all.
