The University where I work is trialling the use of virtualisation running on top of labs full of Windows desktop machines to provide UNIX HPC grid functionality without the user interruption or control/management hassle of dual booting large numbers of PCs. By all accounts it appears to be a reasonably functional and easily managed model for augmenting our other grid nodes (for suitable workloads, of course.)
If I recall correctly a few years ago iLecture (Australian online video lecture delivery software for Universities) had to be renamed. The product was renamed "Lectopia" in response to pressure from Apple when they attempted to peddle it across the pond.
Not that Apple has an iLecture product or anything.
