Because both the Windows 10 preview and the virtualization software is free.

When your Mac is running Windows using Boot Camp, your Mac is a Windows PC.

After a virtual machine restart, you should soon be staring at a virtualized desktop of Windows 10, running on your Mac.

But if youre on a short budget or just want to mess around with Windows 10 prior to its release, VirtualBox and the Windows technical preview can give you what you need without setting you back any cash.
