Why to used windows in a mac? what about all the virus the came with?. I just don't understand why to do that.. I have pc because of my web side and extra hard drive a guess, but i don't think the mac user will really dawnload windows intu they mac.

Some people (well, lots of people) need to access some windows-only stuff from time-to-time and emulation software such as VPC is dog-slow. Being able to boot fully into Windows offers performance you won't get otherwise. Even with virtualizeation software like what was mentioned above, both operating systems are sharing the hardware. Being able to boot into windows itself will let Win have the full systems power to do more intensive things (such as play games-w00t!1).
Viruses are a concern (I got a kick out of Apple's warning) but common sense and some maintenance and you will be fine. Besides, any viruses that attack the Windows partition won't be able to do anything to the OS X system since Windows can't recognize HTFS+. If you are really concerned, then you can ghost the windows partition. This way if anything major does happen, you can just wipe it clean and start fresh with the ghosted copy.
BTW, Bob: Games work well on the iMac. There are videos popping up all over the net of people playing games like Half-Life 2 on the iMacs. I don't know how well the laptops fair due to the lesser video card though.
