Often other groups at Microsoft (the games group, hardware drivers group and even the Windows media group) will come and schedule time in the Mac Lab to test their software on the different hardware configurations.

Yeah, right. The Windows media group have given up on Windows Media Player for the Mac, so what are they testing?

And since when does the Microsoft games group develop anything for the Mac? Halo was ported by Westlake Interactive and MacSoft, and they dropped the Mac port of Flight Simulator decades ago. So what games are actually written at Microsoft for the Mac?

Drivers? They licensed the code for their Mac mouse drivers from Alessandro Montalcini. Maybe they do a little testing now and again, but most of it is just USB HID anyway. Do Microsoft make any other hardware for the Mac?

Internet Explorer? Oh, sorry, they dropped that too.

The whole thing smells like PR crap designed to make Microsoft look like a major developer of Mac software, when in truth all they really work on these days is Office.

Here is what you seek- They go over all the items on the DVD in semi-detail.

But basically yes its a culmination of all the audio files, in order, and includes screenshots of webpages and other relevant stuff. I'm still DLing the DVD (on hour 25 now, but I've uploaded 3.5gb to the cause atleast).

Hope that webpage helps you on your decision to invest the time to dl this thing. Get it while its hot and seeded!

For those too lazy to use a search engine, here's a working link to download the last movie: How Not To Be Seen. If that doesn't work here's a direct link to the search query: Google: "How Not To Be Seen" Halo.

Yeah, someone at HomeLan decided we needed a server. well, now, The Junkyard is hosted on 5 multiple-redundant web servers with a separate MySQL database server. we're sharing some of this with a few other guys, but add to this that we're on a dedicated OC3.... yeah, we don't complain. at all.
