True compatability

In the future, I'd like to see Windows programs running side by side Mac programs.

Apple's big switch to Intel chipsets was monumental. It suddenly became possible to run Windows and Mac OS simultaneously on the same Apple machine. However, something's missing: You still have to be in the Windows environment to use Windows programs.

I'd like to see icons for Windows apps on the Mac desktop, where you can just double click them, and they launch without the need to display a separate GUI, and still behave like Windows programs. I know it's possible; Apple already did this with "Classic," its solution for running earlier Mac programs in the OS X environment. It's got "X11" for running xfree86 / UNIX-based programs, and it's got "Rosetta" for running PPC applications on Intel machines. A Windows solution like this really shouldn't be a stretch.

It would be so groovy.
