Then I think he's going to get an awful lot of support questions, like 
"Why won't this game I bought install?" and "MS Office won't run, help!"

IME, most PC users can just about distinguish between PC's and 
Macintoshes (because Mac software isn't sold in most shops) - but will 
just get frustrated and angry if they're sold something that most people 
haven't heard about.

Hope I'm wrong.
