Exactly, they could acquire Parallels which lets XP app run in a window. not to hard technically to offer this on a RHT/Aero platform.

They already *have* that tech. See “VirtualPC” which they got when they bought Connectix.

"...they could acquire Parallels..."
Oh, that's rich. There is not a single company out there with worse support for Windows users than Parallels. The rage among Windows-host customers who've plunked down their "bargain" $49 for the buggy, virtually unmaintained 2006 piece of utter garbage that is Parallels Workstation 2.2 is unmatched in the entire PC marketplace. Those who have actually attempted to get support from Parallels have murder on their minds. Trust me on this. Parallels is the last company MS wants anything to do with.
