Are you saying PC people going to macs, and deciding to go back to the PC? The only thing I can add to this conversation is the following: VPC is EXPENSIVE. Even for students. With MS licensing for colleges, it may be $45, or even free! (depending on if you are a student, and what type of licensing your university charges) I do like Windows Remote Desktop for Mac OSX - very helpful if you are running XP or terminal services on a server.
