If they were indifferent to what software they preferred, they'd be using a different brand of computers, and run Windows, not Mac OS X. They are switching *because you can run Mac OS X on it* the ability to run Windows on it just pushed them over the edge because Mac OS X doesn't have a 90%+ market share. At its core, the people that are now switching to Macs are not switching *because you can run Windows on it*. You may know more people who have VPC or Parallels than not (I do too), but how sure are you that those people will be representative to the entire Mac market? To the market you want to aim your product at? (Unless it's "technologically competent user who has ever heard of Slashdot", fat chance.) (However, Rubåocoa will ship with the next version of Mac OS X because it's a lesser pain in the ass on all accounts.)
