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)? No, I'm your quintessential Mac user, though I am unfortunately well versed in Windows. The MBP replaced a Powermac G4. And it's convincing me to run Windows, not to run from it. This strategy will backfire. I bet it will convert more Mac users to Windows long term than the other way around. If it didn't exist, I would have not replaced it until something better came along. Don't get me wrong. I love Apple computers. I love OS X. I loath Windows. But it's not a slam dunk that Apple will grow it's computer market share. If the stock does well, and I hope it does, it won't be from computer sales.
