Some users were suspicious about the amount of time Apple took to offer this support considering Microsoft offered a consumer preview of Windows 8 months before the official release date, but rumors aside, the result was that users who upgraded to Windows 8 on their Macs had a lot of hardware trouble. The only problem was that Apple had not yet released support for Windows 8 in its Bootcamp application and hey had not released drivers for it’s hardware to make it work with Windows 8. This upgrade offer combined with the new features that Windows 8 offered was a compelling reason for many people to upgrade. Microsoft also offered a very compelling offer to allow user to upgrade to Windows 8 for $40 which was the cheapest upgrade they have ever offered. When Windows 8 was released back in October a lot of people installed or upgraded to the new OS on both their Macs and PCs. The rivalry between Mac vs PC rages on and the fan bases of both sides can be quite the passionate group, but there is a substantial subset of Mac users who choose to run Windows on a Mac via Apple’s bundled Bootcamp utility.
