Running Macs and Windows on the one machine

Apple's Dual Boot Solution Has Arrived - Softpedia

There are MANY people out there who are sick to death of Windows, especially it's frailties when it comes to Spyware, and viruses (virii??). Obviously the alternative is to switch to Macs, but most people are so unfamiliar with them, the thought of spending £500-£1500 on something they may not know how to use is intimidating.

Well the solution is just around the corner. The Keifer Sutherland-narrated ads have been doing the rounds on T.V. letting everyone know that the Intel chip is now being manufactured for Macs. Well, the next obvious step (for hackers at least) was to use Windows on the machines. In order to curb the influence of the hackers, Apple has announced that all their next generation computers (Mac OSX 10.5... the Leopard) will come with Windows built in.

This would be the perfect opportunity for anyone who is unsure about making the switch, but wants to have a viable alternative to Windows. I am sure within about a month of using the Mac system, most people will have begun shunning their Windows.
