Ability to dual boot and/or possibility to smoothly integrate a virtual Windows environment would definitely benefit the community. Sometimes you are just forced to use some Windows-only app. I am, at times forced to use FrontPage, which I think is a hideous piece of you-know-what just to upload/synch files to and between a customer's staging and production (IIS) server. The hosting company didn't manage to properly configure FTP accounts for the servers (password protected areas cannot be accessed using FTP in all cases, looks like a permission issue on the IIS side) because either they're really not up to that task or Microsoft made it close to impossible to enable adequate FTP access on their IISs. For now I have to literally wait for hours within VPC to do the job.
