Pogue's Town Hall: The OS Wars

David Pogue has put together another goofy video for the New York Times -- Town Hall: The OS Wars. Pogue answers questions from the "public" about running Windows on a Mac with Boot Camp and Parallels. Pogue's "public" includes shills like Andy Ihnatko, asking questions the masses are likely to have, like: Why would anyone want to run Windows anyway? Am I going to catch all those Windows viruses? Mr. Pogue, is running Boot Camp like having a real Windows PC in your office? (The response in typical Pogue style: "Let me answer your question in two parts: Yes and No.")

It's all tongue-in-cheek, but it struck me that the staged questions are probably the very ones the masses (who don't read sites like TUAW) are asking.
