+1.  Apple is, always has been, and always will be primarily a hardware 
vendor.  Since you buy a version of their software with the hardware, I 
don't think they really care that much about whether or not you ever 
actually *use* it.

Besides -- I suspect that it will actually win them some converts. 
People who use Windows on a Mac they share with someone, and eventually 
migrate over.  As far as reverse migration ... I think anyone who wants 
to ditch Mac for a PC has had plenty of opportunity already.  :-)
