The dual-booting feature was not known at the time this article was written, or at least I didn't see it in the press release.
Its interesting that windows is becoming more mac-like and macs are becoming more windows-like. I guess everything will end up the same, eventually, since there can be only one best way to do something.

What about the fact that x86 Macs will be able to dual-boot into Windows? Or the ability of a new version of Virtual PC or WINE to run Windows programs natively? You forget that a major stopping block in Apple's market share is the (primarily corporate) existing infrastructure that works only on Windows computers.
If Macs can run Windows programs transparently, can you honestly say that people won't be more apt to buy them?
