Its real simple. Intel Macs can run Windows natively so Apple figured
why not? Lets make it an OSX feature.

I don't think it's a "why not". I think this may have been one of the
main reasons Apple switched to Intel in the first place. Being able to
run Windows Whatever natively makes it a lot easier to switch to the
mac than it otherwise would have been.

IOW: This is about Apple increasing it's marketshare.

IMO that is the real reason. Window users no longer have to replace all of
their
software when moving to the Mac as they did a week ago, which was, again
IMO,
one of the main reasons not to switch.


But you jihad have been telling us for years that there's no software on
Windows you want to run. Hmmmmm

Did you not understand what I wrote? I guess not being pratt.


Why did you guys change your tune overnight. Ahhhh because Apple did too and
you are blind followers of the Kool-Aid King.
