bridge ? ego ? time to get over it
I guess you're right there... Another sale for apple is always a good thing.
Got a tip for us?

no quite the opposite, the whole reason to get a mac in my opinion would be to get a mac and OSX.
I have not actually touched a windows machine for years (unless for work) and have been a linux user since I left windows. I'm also a recent apple convert as I wanted an os that gave me the best of both worlds:
More applications, whilst still maintaining my favourite unix utilities and shells, nothing more, nothing less.
I specifically did that over buying a cheaper windows based machine specifically because I feel OSX is technically better than windows.
OK clam down buddy. It is for this reason that I hate Apple Zealots, now you may look at my SN, and say gee I am an Apple Zealot too. Well I used to be, but I came down to earth. CTFD. Some people actually have to use windows at work, yeah it sucks, but its a reality, so why not buy a dual booting mac instead of owning two laptops? Did that occur to you?
Personally I hate snobbishness, and yes I realize Apple user can be snobby including myself, it still does not make it right. I happen to own a windows PC in addition to my collection of Macs, why you might ask? Games! Why not buy a dual boot machine? Well I would have if they existed when I bought my powerbook G4. Why not get a Mac Pro now for games? Well its twice as much as my PC rig, so no thanks. I still love OS X beyond anything else, windows is bloated crap, all the apps that I have to use in windows suck compared to the mac versions, but I like to game, so I own windows for that reason only.

what's weirder?
you saw a man who use his computer to the extend that he chooses to, which is obviously more than you did, since as you said, you dont use windows, and he does, aka he better applied his machine to his need... and you think that's the most horrible thing ever
or
after tons of people telling you otherwise, you still feel justified
get over it...
there's the saying floating around "it's too load, you are too old" (or something like that)
well, here's my version.. if you think windows worth nothing more than platform for games, you are too ignorant

Much like what I do at work!iancapable said:
And what if that fellow had removed Mac OS X and put Linux on there? Would you have a problem with that?

God, leave the poor dude alone! I'm sure he wasn't meaning it into absolute seriousness - I agree, games on XP only!

Exactly my comments were only meant for amusement. It's not everyday that you walk past someone using a mac and it happens to be in windows.

My head would hurt as I would be so torn up about what to think that it would probably explode from not being able to compute!

Nah I would rather run this:

My friend bought a white macbook to run Windows and Windows only. She can't stand Mac OS, and that's her decision.
Some schools (dental school at Buffalo) have recommended either a Dell laptop or a Macbook Pro for class, with the intention to use Window's programs. 70% of the dental class bought the Macbook Pro, and over half of those use Windows exclusively. My friend that goes to school there won't even touch the Mac OS.
So to each their own, I don't see what's so horrible about it.

Nonetheless I just thought it weird to actually see someone using a mac with windows.
Wow dude, the majority of Intel Mac users are using it for something or other, be it a windows only app or games. Its not like its crime, get over it.
All these Window bashers piss me off, use what you like and leave others alone.
Some Apple resellers where I live take off OSX, and just install winblows on them Should I report them to Apple? They know NOTHING about OSX, and just sell macs pre-installed with winblows

That's interesting... Doesn't Apple have some sort of crazy licensing that says you can't remove macosx or something?
I run Windows on my laptop
mostly for AutoCAD and a few games, but I still use OS X too. It's not as if XP is the dark side anymore, even if OS X is superior.
Similar to what MacAddict said when Apple switched to Intel, "OS usage is not a religion."

Guys it's time to leave the OP alone.
mountain. molehill ? you get the point
edit : i have edited the first post for an even worse mac abuse tale
I saw some bloke sitting on the train I was on (on my way home) using itunes on the macbook, I shuddered as it looked as though he had lost all sanity. why you ask - well he was listening to Paris Hilton...
It was as if he just bought the mac to listen to paris and look cool because he has a mac...
Why oh why do people actually want to replace TASTE with a crap album like that?

I can't believe no one brought this up. If he already owns office for windows, why would he want to buy it again for OS X, when he can just run it in windows. This goes for all other apps that he has already purchased. I'm sure he was a switcher, and was SMART and didn't spend thousands of dollars to re-purchase all his software. This is why apple created boot-camp. To reduce the hidden costs of switching.
