Two reasons...
1. I have some applications that will only run on Windows. Until now 
I've been running XPPro on my other MacPro - also in a VM.
2. I still test software especially for visually and reading impaired 
that donot run on Mac OS X.

I know I could buy a cheap Win-box to do the testing, but since I myself 
a.m.o. need to use ZoomView it'll be easier - and cheaper - for me to 
use a VM on the MacPro. - If I should buy a similar enlargement tool for 
Windows, it will be very expensive...

Cheers, Erik Richard
