Is that the author touches on this in the article yet conveniently leaves out the most important point. Microsoft doesn't build computers, they make an operating system. So if you buy Windows 7 for your Mac then you are no different to Microsoft than any other PC user. You have still purchased Windows. In fact it's actually beneficial to Microsoft for someone to buy a Mac instead of a Dell and then purchase a copy of Windows after. Dell, or any other T1 OEM, pays FAR less per copy of Windows than Microsoft makes off a user purchasing a stand alone OEM or Retail copy. So in all honesty, Microsoft makes more money off Mac users that also run Windows than they do off Dell or HP users.
I always find the argument that macs can run Windows an insanely funny one. Intel and Microsoft are still getting paid. And if you have Windows on your Mac you're almost certain to get Office to run within Windows.
