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.
