As per the recent news, Apple has stopped the support for Windows 7 OS in the new Mac Pro. This has made Windows 8 the only option for Bootcamp on the most powerful Mac device. It is not yet clear why Apple removed Windows 7 from the mix, considering that the number of the Bootcamp users is quite low and the professional users tend more towards the Mac OS anyway.
This can be very much confusing when you look at the fact that Windows 8 is less of a professional personal computer OS and more of a personal mobile oriented operating system that is built primarily for the touch enabled devices. For the Mac Pro users, Windows 8 has never crossed their mind as something that they need in their life, much less than the Windows 7 OS anyway.
The major reason that many of the users are pointing out at is that since the Mac Pro comes with a number of new high-end technology, it does not have the drivers to support Windows 7 OS. This can be true, but we are unable to see companies like AMD and Intel not manufacturing drivers for the much popular version of Windows operating system. This could prove to be a boost for Microsoft as they struggle to get Windows 8 off the ground. The OS has not yet taken 10% of the market and many of the users has called it Vista 2.0. This is not because of its design, but it was doomed to fail due to the changes that Microsoft has introduced with the interface.
The Mac Pro may not sell the most units out of Apple’s Mac lineup, but probably Bootcamp will get the update to only allow Windows 8 OS. This can decrease the number of Bootcamp users or it can kick off a Windows 8 trend on Mac. This is because people still like to use some of the core services from Microsoft like Office. As we go further into the lifecycle of the computer, Apple is starting to gain more ground. Dell and HP has slumped in the past few years and Lenovo has stepped in as one of the major players in the personal computer market, making them one of the only manufacturers making money in the market.
