I saw that mention of Boot Camp, but thought it meant you could dual-boot back and forth.

If I can run Windows Apps within Mac OS X... my next laptop may very well be a Mac. (Maybe... that Thinkpad T60 is pretty sweet... and I want a finger nub for the mouse because I'm a keyboard jockey who doesn't like trackpads.)

Dual boot means you can shut down the computer and boot into either Windows or Mac OS, or UNIX for that matter. Lots of grumbling in the Mac community about not being able to run Window as a separate app which would allow switching back and forth without a reboot.

I would imagine that many, many programmers will be switching to Apple. Talk about a cost savings to have one computer that covers all varieties out there.
