Be intends that the BeOS for Intel Architecture will fully support booting multiple operating systems on the same machine (as many people do today with Windows 95, Windows NT, Linux, etc.). So, when you need your Windows applications, you will simply boot into Windows.

For use under the BeOS, the BeOS for Intel Architecture will run BeOS applications compiled for Intel processors. BeOS developers will simply re-compile their BeOS applications for Intel machines.

We do not currently have plans for the initial release of the BeOS for Intel Architecture to provide a Windows compatibility solution inside the BeOS. However, a number of third parties have expressed interest in such a solution, including suggesting specific technologies. We're continuing to investigate, and would be happy to work with third parties interested in developing such a product.
