Currently, I have three things that I can't do on my Mac. One is a specialized program that only runs under Windows that I have no options for, one is a web page that, while being Java uses a specialized Windows Java call for a login (working on changing that to true Java), and one is reserving a room with Outlook (Exchange for Mac isn't compatible on that level). Otherwise, everything I run is on the Mac. I find VirtualPC does these three things perfectly well without requiring a separate machine and without running the risk of someone killing my hard drive. OS X keeps Virtual PC isolated and I have all my security cranked up max in Windows under Virtual PC to keep outside Windows viruses, etc from leaking into my system for those few that might be able to affect the Mac. Some people might have a real need for a full PC depending on how much Windows only software they need but I suspect that the average Mac corporate user, if they have a need, something like Virtual PC is better. Obviously, the need is based on the user's specific usage requirements. No one answer fits all, as can be seen by the many differing posts.

microsoft is sued for integrating applications. Let me think. iChat, iMovie, iTunes, iWeb, iWork... Whos's integrating here? And why doesn't anyone see that?
Please, you've subjected your own feelings into the statement "microsoft is sued for integrating applications"
Wrong. They are sued for many things, but that DEFINITELY is NOT one of them. Strange that you believe that. I guess you construed that from Explorer and the Windows OS.
You don't have to get your facts straight, but you should not allow yourself to be misguided into believing something that simply is not true.
Check it, before CNET was taken over by the Borg, they did a nice job reporting on the DOJ case. A lot of evidence shed light on Microsofts business practices.
i dont, they can be the fastest pc on the planet, and i still wont be convinced they can smoke my 2 year old quad athlon or 6 year old dual r12000 SGI machines

Go find out about the '90s. It's interesting.
