For people that want to game, as well as run certain other apps, it would be
very nice to be able to boot directly into Windows.  Basically CD-ROM access
in VPC is *pathetic*, and there are some other serious issues with it.

Personally I'd like the option to do both, but would probably only use VPC.

I'm hoping that the existance of VPC for Windows might make VPC for 
Mac OS X/Intel easier than the move to G5 was.  Something else worth
considering is that running on an Intel chip is likely to make it easier to
get some of the Open Source solutions for this running on Mac OS X.  I'm
actually expecting to see a serious performance increase in certain ports.
