I mean, if someone buys a Mac and runs their PC on it, are they a Windows user or a Mac user? An intriguing question...Windows user or Mac user? Depends. One thing is certain. Windows user or Mac user, it is still a Macintosh computer, which is exactly why so many folks who are wedded to Windows applications have chosen the Mac over all the other brands that come with Windows installed. All Windows user that I know who have recently bought a Mac to run their Windows apps on say that the quality of the machine was paramount in their decision. Secondly, they were intrigued about the Mac OS but really knew nothing about it. However, after trying it out, they liked it very much and would prefer to do as much work in that environment as they possibly could. Indeed, and for the most part, the only reason they see to stick with some Windows apps is for job related stuff that may require Windows unless they can find a Mac app that is compatible. Did these folks experience any sticker shock? Yes, that all say they did, but after a bit of time spent exploring the computer and working in the Mac environment, along with the option of Windows for work needs, they all say that the extra cost is easily justified. Apple's support alone compensates for the extra cost is something that I have been told by some of these folks. Not one that I know of has said they they made a mistake. Most have said they just cannot imagine ever going back to any Windows only computer. Of course, this is all purely anecdotal. I am sure that there are some who would say that anything Macintosh is something to be avoided at any cost. Just watch the laptop hunters ads to find these people.

[CGUYS] A Lifeline to Frustrated PC Users
http://www.parallels.com/news/id,19860 Parallels Desktop Switch to Mac Edition Offers Lifeline to Frustrated PC Users Switching from PC to Mac is on the rise: analyst reports on operating system market share show that Mac OS X market growth comes at the expense of Windows’ market share. While the overall PC industry saw declines of 3% for the quarter ending in June 2009, Apple sales were up 4% year over year¹. According to Apple’s Q309 report, half of the Macs sold were to customers who had never owned a Mac before². The growth in switching is partially due to the ease-of-use and cool capabilities of the Mac, said Serguei Beloussov, CEO of Parallels. However, users don’t want to lose the data they have accumulated and the applications they are already familiar with. Building on our proven track record of Mac innovation, we have addressed this concern and made learning the new operating system even simpler through interactive on-demand tutorials. These are combined with intelligent moving tools and our industry-leading Parallels Desktop for Mac, which offers the greatest performance and stability for running Windows seamlessly on Mac. Golly, there is hope for the future. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Measuring by the thing that matters..money, they are a mac user. Apple makes money on the hardware, not the software so they really give a rats tail what os you use as long as you buy their hardware.
