The idea has lots of appeal
Why buy a Mac and run Windows on it? Lots and lots of reasons.
Let's say your company wants to lower IT costs. Running OSX
means doing away with all the viruses and spyware your techs
are constantly fighting. The problem though, is that your
company is dependent upon one company specific piece of
Windows software. Rather than try to get this rewritten for the
Mac, why not just buy Mactels, run OSX as your main desktop for
everything, and hop into Windows for that one piece of software.
With VMWare, you shouldn't even have to reboot.

Here's another scenario--you're a gamer, and you want to run
OSX, but you can't switch to a Mac because you won't have
access to the newest state of the art games. Again, buy a
Mactel, use OSX for everything else and hop into Windows to run
"Stealth War Auto Theft".
