But why?

I don't mean to be a troll, but why would they do something like that? What business advantage does Mac have over Windows? It's still a proprietary platform, you're tied to one vendor, you have to pay license fees, and the hardware choices are more limited.

If you're happy with a proprietary OS and vendor lockin, then just stay with Windows. If you really want to get out of that, then go for a free platform. User interface aside, it's not like you're dealing with a better company by going to Apple.
