I think the poster was confused on semantics. Often emulation and virtualization are confused even though they are very different. On a Mac, like most machines, one can emulate or virtualize. And like on most machines, one can boot into a multitude of operating systems. At its core a Mac is like any other Windows box. But beyond the core foundations of the hardware is where the Mac becomes onto its own.
