Poll: Does Windows on a Mac affect your PC purchasing decisions?
Gear Live Poll
Does the fact that you can run Windows in OS X make you consider Macs more heavily?
In light of the news that Parallels has sold over 1 million copies of their Parallels Desktop for Mac software, we figured we’d gauge the pulse of the Gear Live community to see what you guys think. The other day, Apple reported some amazing sales figures as far as the Mac goes. Desktops and portable sales are up. We are thinking there is a connection between those numbers and the fact that Parallels - which lets you run Windows inside of OS X - has been selling to well.
So we want to know, how does the fact that you can run Windows right on your Mac, and inside of OS X, affect your PC purchasing decisions?

I’d say it was a factor, but not the only factor. As in, I think I’d have switched anyway, but the fact that I could still run PC apps made the decision and transition easier.

Windows on the Mac is a nice perk, but it isn’t what’s driving my whole family running into the arms of Mac.
Windows Vista did that.

Mac?
No thanks.
A Mac with equivalent specifications costs me Rs. 1 lakh more.
Apple sucks to the core.
