I've seen this issue mentioned nearly everywhere but I don't understand why would anyone pay good money for a Mac and then ruin it by running Windows on it? Only those who like the hardware design but don't like OS X but does Apple care? if you run Windows they still get a hardware sale out of it.

"Ruin" is, of course, a value judgement. =) Most people interested in running Windows on a Mac (natively, mind you, not in Virtual PC) are dual-booting, which is an unusual but not completely insane tactic if for some reason you need to use both OSes, but are unwilling to buy two boxes to do it. (Space, expense, data sharing...) Virtual PC is, in most cases, a superior solution, but there you are.


However, there really are people who want to run Windows full-time on a Mac just because they like Apple's hardware design better than any of the PC manufacturers'. (I know one personally, in fact.) I think they're sort of nuts, but hey, it still counts as a hardware sale.
