As I am continually updating the Must-Have Software (Must Have Software) I am starting to realize most of the programs I want/need are actually available for Mac OS X! The only other programs I can't just port over are my games, which is only two games (Battlefield 2 and Half Life 2). Other than that, Windows XP for me is almost completely pointless on a Mac.

I'm just glad I am mostly a console gamer

So I partially agree with that statement. Although for some people they really want to switch, but their work is using one program that you NEED to use and it does not have a Mac OS X version.

So I think Apple made a wise decision in releasing Boot Camp, maybe someday they will make it so you don't need to restart... Of course we do have Parallels...
