Precisely the point of my original post. This is exactly why MS will dump
VPC.

Which opens up the question, why doesn't Apple build the ability to have a
Windows partition on all Macs into a future version of the OS X? It could do
everything that VPC does and better - since it would be more stable.

Hey, from what I here Jobs is already looking into the possibility of using
Intel processors in future Macs. That would make it even more simple.

Apple could have a Mac OS X/Windows dual booting machine on the market and
have the world once again beat a path to 1 Infinite Loop.
