Try 4 to 5 Million per year.
Windows running on a Mac will be no different than any other PC. Mean subject to all virsus, spyware, trojan horses and alot of bad software. The true experience is with Mac OS, and like the author said he doesn't hear anyone asking for Windows, just the ability to run some Windows applications.

You wish you had a business with 4 to 5 million customers a year. And with Macs lasting at least four to five years, I still see many models from the 90s, Apple has an installed base of at least 30 to 35 million. Who else has this? Wang Computer, Digital Equipment, Compaq (now just HP),
Parkard Bell, Micron, e-machine (now just Gateway) the list of dead computer makers goes on and on.
