You have a good point here but for different reasons.... There is now a concern that cross platform software developers may stop development of the Mac versions and just tell their Mac customers to use bootcamp and use the windows version instead. I don't think it'll actually happen with the top-tier developers (Adobe, Microsoft etc..) but certainly it'll happen with the game developers. I think we have seen the last A-List game ported to the Mac because of bootcamp... Not a loss for me as I'm not a gamer, but if I had to run the windows version of Photoshop i'd be sickened....
