After seeing a few tweets on this I had to go check it out myself and was quite amazed at what I saw. On the Amazon.com MAC OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard product page it shows what customers ultimately buy after viewing the item – and it shows that 75% of them head over and purchase either the Windows 7 Home premium Upgrade (50%) or the Windows 7 Professional Upgrade (25%).
Now this OS X Snow Leopard Upgrade is already #1 in Software so it is obvious that people are buying it up as a pre-order. But there must also be quite a few people browsing to this page for some reason and then pre-ordering Windows 7 upgrades.
If the OS X update is #1 in Software already then that means a lot of people are buying the Windows 7 upgrade from that page. I would love to talk to some of those folks and find out how they got on that page in the first place and then ended up buying the Windows 7 upgrade.
Things that make you go hmmmmm.
