Marketing strategy. It is worth more to get your opponent’s gear off the market than computers running your software.

My take is that there is more value in moving you into their Windows operating “environment” for future sales and service, not the hardware value. They pay less for MS products because you are already in the family.

I wonder what they are planning to do with the few MacBooks they are going to get traded in?
