The commercial for the Dog Fights game should not use a Mac Powerbook

The commercial for the Dog Fights game shows a Mac running the game, yet the game is only for Windows. Now this is not a useless argument on which one is better, but there is no reason for the commercial to get my hopes up in showing a Mac Powerbook running the game when it can only run on windows. Microsoft has the same problem showing Mac laptops running their advertised software like Microsoft works, which clearly only runs on Windows, but at least they take the time to photoshop out the apple symbol.

Hear, hear CMM! I was just about to post your message myself. I was pretty psyched thinking that this 3D game was cross-platform. Oh well. We know that Apple makes the most photogenic laptops, but c'mon, History!

I fell for it as well... Oh well, I still love my powerbook. By the way, does anyone know of any good flight/dogfight sims for the Mac?

The Macbook Pro can run Windows for sure if you have Intel processors. You can either download the "Bootcamp" platform onto which Windows interfaces or use Parallels software which allows you to simultaneously run OSX and Windows. In fact you can run Windows in a window on OSX.
I have a Macbook Pro (this machine) and a quad core Intel processor Mac Pro desktop for this very reason. Windows is good for business spreadsheet and scheduling software and for games. Mac OSX is good for graphing experimental data, CAD based engineering and video creation for lectures and presentations, but not many game companies write for it.
