But you're running Windows on a Mac!?! PC users are buying Macs just to run Windows.

What system(s) does your new MBP replace, a PC, Mac or both? And if the MBP didn't exist (and Macs didn't run Windows), what would have been your replacement systems(s)?

You're right that OS X isn't helped immediately, but Apple is helped by hardware sales. Down the road, if Apple gains market share, that's a larger pool of computers that are capable of running OS X as well as other Apple programs. The total number of OS X users may increase more than if such a crossover product didn't exist, especially if Apple can get some of your objections resolved.
