Mac Users: Dual bootable Intel Macs.
 
"Boot Camp"

"More and more people are buying and loving Macs. To make this choice simply irresistible, Apple will include technology in the next major release of Mac OS X, Leopard, that lets you install and run the Windows XP operating system on your Mac. Called Boot Camp (for now), you can download a public beta today."

"Macs use an ultra-modern industry standard technology called EFI to handle booting. Sadly, Windows XP, and even the upcoming Vista, are stuck in the 1980s with old-fashioned BIOS. But with Boot Camp, the Mac can operate smoothly in both centuries." :p :}

Good news or bad news for Apple? It'll certainly increase No. of units sold anyway!

One wag has already allegedly commented, that this will allow "The utter stability of Microsoft products, combined with the top notch value for money of the Apple range"

Just found this solution, which should suit some folks better then the dual/triple boot solutions discussed above.
It's a virtualisation platform (think VirtualPC) for the new intel powered mac's. So you still boot into MacOS X but then can run numerous guest OS's, giving you the best of both worlds.
