Microsoft to Continue Mac Support

Posted by pudge on from the scurvy-little-spider dept.

rakeswell writes "Though Microsoft's five-year agreement to support some Microsoft applications on the Mac has come to a close, Microsoft announces that it will continue its support of the platform. This means that new versions of Office, IE, ODBC, and Palm synchronization will be made available for Mac OS X. Also, they intend to build in .NET support for the Mac, though Microsoft says that they do not intend to push .NET for Mac developers."

    When the hell has Microsoft ever supported me? I administer 150 NT workstations, 10 Win2k workstation, 3 Win2k servers, and 2 linux boxes, and I still have to find out how to do things through Google because Microsoft's support website sucks, both for navigation and content.

    If this is what they mean by support, then I'd suggest the Mac folks could do better by hiring a few net-researchers instead.

      Wait a minute.

      If I was male, sucking cock would make me gay, and therefore your insult would be redundant.

      If I was female, sucking cock would make me straight, and therefore your insult would't make any sense.

      I suggest that from now on you just stick to 'cock sucker', unless of course the insultee enjoys sucking cock anyway.

      So I guess that leaves us with 'person who sucks cock, unless they enjoy it'

      You really are fucking stupid, aren't you?

      Just because you're gay, doesn't mean you suck cock.

      Just because you're a lesbian, doesn't mean you CAN'T suck dick. They just think of it as a favor to the male.

      Don't try and use logic, it just makes you look like a moron.

      "You really are fucking stupid, aren't you?"

      Isn't that obvious?

      A man who sucks cock is gay. This is not the same thing as saying that all gay men suck cock.

      A lesbian who sucks cock is engaging in a bisexual act, and therefore cannot be considered 'gay' in the strictest sense. Be sure to ask your mom about this one.

      "Don't try and use logic, it just makes you look like a moron."

      That sentence would be better phrased as "Don't try to use logic...", since the and really doesn't make sense there.
