I'm thinking about what would be the killer feature in 10.5...
Windows binaries execution ?
Not impossible if you look at opensource projetcs like wine.
So perhaps lot of companies will not port software, but just let them
run into MacOS X natively


A windows app running on OS X through a compatibility layer will always provide a shoddy user experience.

Definitely true. But although I love OS X, I'd be happy to use my windows apps app - faster than with VPC.

I guess we'll have something like Xen or VMWare for Intel Macs
and run a real windows OS  and an OS X OS in parallel
using different virtual machines.

Switching between windows and Mac would be great. Being able
to transfer clipboards between different VMs would very good.
