I didn't take it that way. I've noticed that as Windows has steadily improved, and the machines are relatively cheap, and as there are some good Windows programs, a lot of people who have Mac-based music studios have started using both, and even in conjunction with each other. For instance, using a Windows computer to run Giga, being played by Mac. I go back and forth between using Finale on Windows and Mac computers practically every day, and only find it frustrating when I can't get WinFin to recognize some MIDI driver, and have to call in the experts. Not that Macs don't have those problems, its just that I can solve them pretty easily myself.
