Two things

"If, however, a user want to listen to music in the Internet or
watch videos that uses Windows Media format, then users
will have to stay with Windows. Since Microsoft had made
Windows Media Player work with Mac OS X, Mac users can
experience Windows Media content from Microsoft and the
others that use the Windows Media format."

Why would they? QuickTime and iTunes are both superior to
wmp, especially on a Mac. So using wmp is nothing but a
waste of time. Not to mention the spyware that is in it.

"But I'd heard from other users that Mac OS will not run in
VirtualPC. "

You heard that one right. The code is optimized for the PPC
processor. Which reads things differently from the x86
stuff. Connectix made Virtual PC for Mac users, so they
could run windows apps on their Macs. It was much cheaper
than buying a pc to run stuff you couldn't find. Since MS
bought it, it has gone down hill. Of note, there was a
windows version of Virtual PC. So MS hasn't done anything
new here. This article is just another Pro MS fluff piece.
