No impact, but positive.

I checked no impact, because I'm still going to wait for a virtualization type solution (simultaneous booting). I "knew" they would come, so not sure no impact is the right answer. It's not sooner or later, because I assumed a year. I "need" simultaneous booting to run some GPS programs. The solution has to work better than Virtual PC, which is too fussy about USB (it may be the programs which usually aren't the most fully developed).

Probably an iMac (hopefully second generation, although from what I see the first is solid enough) when Leopard comes out. By then there should be some solid virtualization and also I can confirm that I can live with an iMac and not a PowerMac, which I currently use.

Boot Camp has almost no affect on my decision, although it would probably make firmware upgrades to GPSr better and maybe similar uses for cell phones although I can probably live without messing with my phone. Maybe Boot Camp for a concentrated GPS analysis effort, but then how would I watch my mail, etc.?
