Not anymore!
I recently upgraded to a MacBook Pro 2.33 dual core INTEL -- and there is a spectacular piece of software (Parallels) that allows you to make a Windows partition that is NOT emulation... it is full-out direct access to the processor... and it is like, no, it is not "like" it IS running macOS and Win on the same machine at the same time.
Totally changed how I work.
Best $66 I ever spent.
I have the best off all worlds. ALSO -- since it is a virtual machine partition, I can let Windows do whatever it does, and if I don't like it, I simply restore to an older partition. You can also clone a partition, and have one partition be your testing platform, and one for production.
Use Windows for what it is, but work on the Mac.
Doesn't help with so-called "marginialization" -- bad developers will continue to ignore the mac os -- and it still puts some $ to microsoft... BUT it gives me a competitive advantage over others that must buy new hardware to run windows. And it's lightning fast.
