MacPractice Uses Parallels to Bring Windows Dentistry App to Mac

MacPractice this past weekend announced an agreement with Synca Direct, Inc. to bring the company's Cadi dentistry software to Mac users via Parallels Desktop, which enables running Mac OS X and Windows XP simultaneously

I knew this would happen. While it is a great thing to be able to run both OS X applications and Windows applications on the same computer, I do not like the idea that some developers will look at this as an opportunity to not write software for the macintosh. This could be particularly true in the future for Microsoft. Why would they create an Office for Macintosh when they know that everybody needs it and that only having a Windows version would require the purchase of a $300 copy of Windows. Where will this go?
