I don't use bootcamp or Windows that much so this was based on some
articles I read, like these:
MacBook Air outperforms most windows netbooks and ultraportables:

Macbook Pro review - Search for Windows Benchmarks

That said, I use Fusion as it is much faster to get in and out of for
the occasional Windows app than having to reboot into Windows. Boggy vs.
Snappy is a bit subjective. It could just be raised expectations from
using OSX. On my real Dell WindowsXP box I'm still surprised how boggy
and slow Windows seems compared to working in OSX.

3 - Depends on your definition of "similar specs". Generally Apple
only sells high-end hardware so if you were to run windows on it via
bootcamp you'll probably find it to be quite fast compared to other
windows laptops. Some reviews in the past have claimed that Apple's
laptops are actually the fastest hardware for running Windows.
Really? That is news to me. Maybe on the IMac it's a different
story. On macbook hardware windows does alright but it's not either
stable or snappy. Or maybe it just seems boggy to me compared with
mac OS on the same hardware.
