That fake Windows that was emulated? Nowhere near fast enough. However, the new setup is not that. Since new Macs use x86 architecture, they can flat out RUN Windows at full speed. One just needs to install it, and Apple provided a special bootloader software so that when one starts the computer they can select which OS to use.
That said, just gaining existing functionality doesn't justify the cost of buying a whole new computer for me.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
