Help
It may be just me, but it has bugged me the last couple of days so I'm curious what others think.
I picked up the June issue on the weekend and noticed the middle pages were advertising for estore.
Now I understand AMW needs the advertising, I'm a fan of estore having bought quite a few things from them over the years, and I work with MS products, but does anyone else find it odd or annoying that much of the products in that brochure were Windows based???
Maybe it is just me, but it just didn't sit right that a mac magazine allowed so much material that appears at odds with their audience...

I guess its a two way street, I occasionally flick through PC mags and see adds for mac stuff, plus a lot of mac owners has Fusion or other emulation software on their macs, so to them, i guess ads for windows based software is a bonus.

A lot of Mac users have Windows tech as well. I know I do and so do a lot of my friends. (or as Ken said use Parallels or Fusion etc) I don't see any problem with pc adverts in a Mac mag or vice versa

Not an issue as far as I'm concerned.
