…last week VMware servers were brought to their knees as a result of downloads for Fusion 3.0 a product that is used to run Windows on Mac hardware. This would suggest that an incredibly large number of recent Apple customers are putting Windows 7 on their Macs anyway and not waiting for Apple to license the product from Microsoft.
If Mac customers were so interested in using Windows full-time, they would have bought PCs. A surge in VMware downloads just means there are a lot of Mac owners who also need to run Windows. Which is good for Apple — the company’s OS is so compelling, people would rather run it most of the time, and just fire up Windows on an as-needed basis.
And:
Somehow I don’t expect this to make it into a Mac vs. PC commercial, the thought of the Mac guy wearing an “I’m a PC” T-Shirt is a little disturbing. But then if you take into account Psystar’s Rebel EFI utility that lets you run Snow Leopard on a regular PC you could even get to a more disturbing shot of the PC guy with an “I’m a Mac” T-Shirt. Of course, more disturbing for both companies would be that Google had 80 percent of the PC market and both guys end up wearing Google t-shirts.
Wait, what?
