Well don't ever let it be said that Apple doesn't listen to its customers. They released a new beta piece of software called "Boot Camp" that will allow people to dual boot Windows XP and Mac OS X on Intel based Macs. I can't imagine that many self-respecting Mac owners would prefer to use Windows over Mac OS X, but there are undoubtedly occasions when it would be beneficial to do so.
Now Apple isn't being completely selfless here of course. They make a lot of money selling hardware and if they can convince Windows users to buy a Mac instead of a Dell they'll be more than happy to accomodate them. Maybe this is like a Trojan horse to get people to experience a good OS.
Next thing I'd like to see is the ability to run Windows in some kind of virtualization environment within Mac OS X...
