the way maqc handles pictures and email (badly) is also a
factor. Also the price difference between a new mac and anew del.

Raphael,
I'm not sure whether
my experience will be instructive; I run WinXP in VMWare Fusion on a Mac Mini,
OS X version 10.6.1 (Snow Leopard), which boots and shuts down in seconds and
works like a finely tuned machine (the OS, that is). VMware allows sharing of
folders so anything on the Mac can be made accessible to the virtualized
environment (WinXP). A shared folder can even be assigned a drive letter in
Windows. It's all accessible to XyWrite 4.011 in my set up, though of course,
there's not much use for binary files. My only gripe is that I have been
unable to display XyWrite full screen, in the way it had been displayed in the
old DOS-only days; instead, I have a display box that takes up a little less
than half the screen, looks beautiful, works flawlessly.
The Windows
vs. Mac arguments are like political, or even religious ones: unresolvable due
to fundamentalist belief systems. In my experience with both, I like the ease
of use and stability of the Mac much better, especially since there are
solutions now allowing me to use XyWrite effectively.
