MS really doesn't use their brains at all, or might be that they are really smart showing of their new system on an iMac! (how do I know?)

The chief of marketing the Vista-system in Norway, showed of MS Vista to the national newspaper VG (www.vg.no), and after a second or two, I had to laugh..

Look for yourselves:

They don't care what hardware Windows is run on. Showing it on an iMac tells people that they can buy a trendy iMac and still run Windows Vista.

That's actually a pretty cunning marketing move. The advent of the Intel Mac has introduced an entirely new market for Microsoft to capitalize on: the Mac faithful. Now that they can sell Windows to Mac users, you can bet your ass that they'll be pulling out all the stops to conquer that last 4% of OS marketshare that's always been just outside their grasp.

Any ramblings are entirely my own, and do not represent those of my employers, coworkers, friends, or species
