Consider: these Macs will run Windows directly, not in emulation. 
Hence a Wintel dependent shop that appreciates industrial design will 
have the chance to buy Apple and change nothing else. The highest 
quality Windows box you can buy. Wintel folks can buy Apple.

Mac-centric folks can still buy Apple. And an Appletel  box  can run 
Windows software in an Mac-centric shop. No one needs Virtual PC.

Hmmmm.
