I have run Boot Camp once or twice in the past, but anymore it really
does seem pointless. VMWAre and Parallels and VirtualBox are all much
better solutions for running Windows.

I mean, VirtualBox used to be pretty terrible, and now it's pretty good.

But honestly, the only thing I've used in several years for the rare
times I need to run some "windows" utility is wine.

Once upon a time, a woman was picking up firewood. She came upon a
poisonous snake frozen in the snow. She took the snake home and nurse it
back to health. One day the snake bit her on the cheek. As she lay
dying, she asked the snake, "Why have you done this to me?" And the
snake answered, "Look, bitch, you knew I was a snake."
