MUCH more interesting than booting Windows XP on an Intel Mac!!!!!!!!!!

You said -- "MUCH more interesting than booting Windows XP on an Intel Mac!!!!!!!!!!"

The problem with that is -- Apple will do everything they can to stop it, from their legal eagles to software roadblocks and hardware roadblocks. They've stated that and they intend to enforce it (in regards to their operating system software).

HOWEVER -- the other way around -- they have no problem with it -- and -- they have *explicitly stated that*.

Thus, with consumers looking at the issue -- one side will always be crippled by Apple -- while the other methodology has the passive agreement of Apple. And that means, Microsoft can very easily make their operating system run on Apple hardware, and thus have a dual-booting computer (both Windows and Mac).

So, from the standpoint of the masses of the consumers (and that's what a company is looking for) -- the way you prefer will never work, while the other way (for Windows on Mac) can easily be supported in a mass market.

That should make it clear which way is going to work in the long run.
