Would I be able to run Windows while running OS X? Like, having it in a window like Virtual PC?

You can dual-boot. I dont think you can do what you are talking about.

It already works today, right now, on current Mac OS X machines. Of course, without the emulation layer, it only works with PowerPC Windows binaries, which means you have to compile your own code, but it does work.

I can't tell you much more than the site tells you. Read it all, though. There's plenty of information there.

I have been reading this forums for awile and finnally got around to registering, my father works for intel as well my friend works for apple. With a Dual Core Chip it would be possible to run OSX and Windows at the exact same time, One monitor running Windows and the other monitor running OSX. This is possible and very do-able will Apple allow it probably not.

eh... doesn't that have to do with virtualization? not the fact that the processor has 2 cores...
