The good news is that you'd only screw up the Windows side of your
Mac. Not the Mac stuff at all :-)

So, two questions as I think about this.
1. Is/will Apple end up selling both operating systems then. I
mean, they could market this Windows/OS thing and sell machines
with both.
2. Is/will this be something easy enough to do so that any person
could operate and switch between OS and Windows on the Mac? Or, is
this just a pitch for the real geeks out there?
I'm still concerned about all of the security issues with Windows
and the idea that I could put Windows on my Mac and screw it up.
Does anyone see this as a bad move by Apple? Have they given up on
trying to promote the superiority of the OS in favor of trying to
bridge the gap between the PC and Mac world. Instead of selling
machines that are better with a better OS, now they are doing that
while saying oh, you can put Windows on here because we know that
95% of the computer world does and we can't convince you to just
switch. I just don't know about this. Soon, will I just be able
to buy a Mac with Windows on it and never bother with the OS?

I think you answered your own question. Most of us would 't want to.
But being able to is cool. And the GEEK in many of us might make us
do it just for that reason alone.
As you and others said, the selling point to VR. Wow how can you go
wrong. OK, you want Windows, here it is. Now let me show you the Mac
OS side of your new computer.
Then there is the virtualization software that is being developed. No
dual boot, but have both running at the same time. Not just Mac and
Windows, but Linux also. That is cool, and super geeky. I love it.

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.
