Microsoft revelled that Apple customers are excited about running Windows, ‘‘and that Apple is responding to meet the demand,’’ said Kevin Kutz, director of Microsoft Windows Client, through a spokesman. At Apple—which has many customers who despise Microsoft—the company was a little more reserved. ‘‘Apple has no desire or plan to sell or support Windows, but many customers have expressed their interest’’ in Windows, Philip Schiller, an Apple senior vice president said in a statement. On its Web site, Apple issued a warning, telling users to keep their systems up-to-date because a Mac with Windows will ‘‘be subject to the same attacks that plague the Windows world.’’ The software is available at www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp.
