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."

    If Apple dies, there will be even more anti-trust shit for them to deal with. And M$ know that Apple isn't real competition, so why not help them stay afloat, to make it look like there is some competition. And maybe while everyone's applauding their decency, they can get some more DRM garbage through a back door to shut Linux out of their big fat market...
