| I've seen this issue mentioned nearly everywhere but I don't understand why would anyone pay good money for a Mac and then ruin it by running Windows on it? Only those who like the hardware design but don't like OS X but does Apple care? if you run Windows they still get a hardware sale out of it.
Dual booting isn't a way around using VPC and you are running either OS X or Windows but not both. I have a Toshiba laptop with UNIX on it that has only ever been into Windows once to partition the hard disk.

Will the switch to intel chips mean that a user could toggle between mac and windows?
For some definition of "toggle", maybe -- if Virtual PC survives the jump, then there you are. However, that probably wasn't what you meant. Quoting from c|net:
'After Jobs' presentation, Apple Senior Vice President Phil Schiller addressed the issue of running Windows on Macs, saying there are no plans to sell or support Windows on an Intel-based Mac. "That doesn't preclude someone from running it on a Mac. They probably will," he said. "We won't do anything to preclude that."'
