Yeah, as long as there's solid virtualization support I'm not too fussed. I've only ever booted true linux on devices made for the purpose--dedicated hardware.

Yeah, as long as there's solid virtualization support I'm not too fussed. I've only ever booted true linux on devices made for the purpose--dedicated hardware. Really any other time it's in a virtual machine. Especially because VMware Fusion is so performant that I don't feel much penalty at all for being in a virtualized environment. As long as the new Macs have similar virtualization performance, I really don't care. If I really wanted dual booting I wouldn't be buying a Mac. I suspect most of the people throwing a fit about this don't even own Mac hardware.
