What if, in OSX 10.5 (Leopard), you could run PC apps natively (Digg)? Without the need for Bootcamp. Yes, that indeed would be neat. I mean, I simply can't wait to get reacquainted with Microsoft Access again!

Hah, it would be cool, but I really don't have anything for windows that I would like to run. I mean really, what MS apps do you really want to run? If I could run windows apps, it wouldn't do anything for me, "whooo hooo I can run Counter Strike: Source" and that's about the extent of my happiness. What I would really like to seen done, is for apple to develop some kind of app, for windows, that allows you to runall Mac apps in windows. I don't really know how hard it would be, but hey, it would be awesome. That would be maybe 1 excuse to use Windows :) A geek can always dream ;-)

Yeah, I guess the whole utility escapes me. I mean, it would be useful for web development -- and maybe games -- but there really aren't any PC apps that I care to use.
