Running Boot Camp or Parallels isn't quite the same as actually running
Windows, if the user is trying to do intense stuff like music production
using soft-synths. Many people simply turn their intel mac into a
dual-boot machine and decide which way to boot it depending on what they
want to do.
I think Apple might get a lot more converts if they would sell their OS
to anybody with an intel-based computer and make it easy to set up as a
dual-boot machine. I'd love to investigate the Mac world more than I
have but I can't afford to have 2 computers, and several software
packages I use extensively either aren't offered on the Mac platform or
if they are, the Mac version lags way behind the Windows version.
