So what is the big difference to a user, between a Mac running Windows OS and a PC running Windows OS?

There is a rip in the space-time continuum
Macs running Windows in native mode
And Apple opening the way, not some clumsy adaptation

This is probably the coolest thing to happen since they came out with the Atari ST emulator for Windows. Now Mac users will finally be able to run Atari ST programs.

Heh... of course, this has already been hacked up by non-Apple sources, so it had to be done eventually. ;') Imagine Bill Gates, shaking in his camp boots, thinking how this will have an impact on Windows sales... oh, wait, more copies will be sold now... The only thing that would make me think that this 5 per cent gain in Apple's stock price isn't anything but a temporary spike during a long term pullback is, that I just said it. ;')

Excerpt from Walt Mossberg's review of Boot Camp in the
Wall Street Journal -
I've been testing Windows on a new iMac for several days, and, except for a couple of trifling annoyances, it runs perfectly, just like a stand-alone Windows PC. I was able to install Boot Camp, and Windows XP Pro, on the Mac in under an hour. After that, I installed 15 Windows programs, most unavailable in Mac versions, and all ran properly. In Windows mode, the iMac was blazingly fast -- far faster than my two year old H-P Windows computer. And every function of Windows I tested, including Web browsing, email, and music playback, ran flawlessly.

Extra branch in Apple's tech support phone tree will ask callers, "If you are calling to speak to Bill Gates, or regarding any of Microsoft's products, please dial five now."
Dialing five will only repeat that over and over again until the caller realizes that calling Apple to speak to Bill Gates or to ask for help for a Microsoft product is silly.

This actually solves a dilemma. I want a Mac, but I also don't want to invalidate my collection of Windows based games.
Thanks, Apple.
