I’m not sure what Apple was thinking, but a customer of mine pointed me towards this support note on Apple’s website that says that Apple is only supporting Windows 8 on the current Mac Pro. For this customer, that’s an issue as he wants to run Windows 7 and wants nothing to do with Windows 8. What makes this even more strange is the fact that Windows 7 is supported (at least in 64-bit form) on many other Macs that are currently shipping. Thus it begs the question. With Windows 8 adoption rates being as low as they are, why would Apple think that not having Windows 7 support is a good idea? I’d ask Apple, but they’ve never responded to my requests for comment. Thus I will not bother. But they may find themselves with some unhappy Mac Pro customers if they don’t have a good explanation for this.
