Who in their right mind is going to buy Virtual PC when you can actually boot into Windows? Unless you think that MS is going to revamp Virtual PC to be more like a sort of Classic layer for OS X-Intel?

That in itself would be an interesting business decision for MS (if its even technically possible), and to me would seem like some sort of concession to OS X. Running Virtual PC right now is sort of a "if you have to have it" kind of deal. Performance is not great and comparatively a real Windows machine is much much better. If MS could somehow implement a speedy Windows-ala-Classic kind of thing that is pretty fast for Intel based Macs it seems like they'd be shooting themselves in the foot a bit, mindshare-wise. Fine line I guess.
