Because for 90% of what I do, I love OSX. I've been a Mac guy for years,
and an Amiga guy before that. However, there are certain "killer apps"
that require me to have access to Windoze. I don't want to have to
maintain two complete computers, especially on vacation where most of my
stuff lives in MacWorld but I need Windoze for the "killer app" -
DeLorme's software. When one laptop can do both, there is no reason to
keep two separate physical machines.
