So over the weekend I went over to a friends house. They had a new Macbook sitting on the table (playing windows media player in windows!). They just returned from a trip to China the day before. They were big fans of their Dell before and so it came as a surprise that they bought a Macbook. Anyways, as the party was winding down I asked to look at his Macbook. He brings it out and I browse the apps while showing him some tricks in OSX.
Turns out, the Chinese guys loaded the Mac with all sorts of apps (Adobe pack, Office, Windows, etc) for free/pirated on it. He said the price was about the same as SA prices, but got loads of apps, cover bags, etc included in the deal.
And than... as I was giving it back I look over and the Macbook was still sitting on the table. They bought his and hers while there! Now to get them to use OSX more than Windows on them...
