Hi,

how about the reverse? If I could run Mac OSX on my windows machine, I might buy the logic windows to mac update, since I liked the program very much. I might also give Bandstand a try. But I would not by an Intel Mac to run XP, or vista, on.



OK, there are less viruses for OSX, but there are, and there would be more if more macs were out there.

Is there also a solution out there, or in sight? I'm not talking about an OSX emulator, but about being able to select XP or OSX while booting.

There was a link on digg.com the other day to a rumour that Apple was somehow going to make it much easier for developers to develop dual-platform software directly on the Mac, i.e. provide the necessary libraries or something. So it may be easy(ier) in the future for Digital Performer to create a Windows version or whatever, or to develop their Windows apps directly in OS X.

As a user, what I would want to see would be either:

* a fully transparent virtualization of Windows apps within the OS X framework: i.e. I just double click on Respondus.exe and it opens as its own application in OS X, or failing that:

* a very easily accessible virtual desktop containing Windows so that we could switch to and from Windows without having to reboot - also with shared folders etc.

Let's see.

Matthew
