Hardly seamlessly... :-)

Booting into Windows to use a Quickbooks on a Mac isn't a Mac  
experience. Using Parallels to emulate Windows so you can use a PC  
program isn't exactly a Mac experience either... and waiting for that  
other emulation that runs PC programs directly isn't using a Mac  
program.

They are just lazy and looking for another excuse not to improve the  
software.

People aren't going to buy a dual boot Mac just to run Quickbooks.  
they're going to buy a dual boot because it will also run Quickbooks  
in Windows. And when they get used to the Mac side of things, they'll  
be the one's asking Quickbooks why there isn't a Macintosh version.

And then they'll wonder why open source software is eating their  
breakfasts.
