Additionally, not running Windows software is a GOOD thing. If all those windows apps will run, so will all those viruses and trojans.
not necessarily... the scenario would be, I guess, similar to running windows drivers and applications in VMware and wrappers and the VMware and wrappers can't pass the infection down and on to the lower level Apple code because rather than hitting the full version of the Wintel system they rather hit a black box abstraction of part of it. OK so maybe your VMware _may_ get infected but as they are a collection of individual programs (or a collection of collections of programs) rather than an integrated operating system in and of it's self then you could blow them away (or even have them install clean each bootup?) without sweating on system corruption/reinstalls that Wnidoze users have to think about.
