Next, Apple's newest version of OS X, called Panther -- which is scheduled to debut later this year -- coupled with new emulation software from Microsoft (MSFT ) will let corporations run Windows applications on their Macs more smoothly. That's a major plus, considering that nearly all companies use Windows.

anyone hear more about this??? and how it will work.....? Is virtual pc going bye-bye?

more importantly, I hope this will run my AutoCAD.

I think they are referring to the next version of Virtual PC (whatever it will be called) which I suspect will be rootless (I think this is the right word) much like the classic and X11 environments on OSX - so Windows programs will run alongside native OSX apps. At present, (VPC6) Windows runs in it's own window as it were.
