I had no idea Microsoft used Macs. I guess this means they are giving up on Windows.
They make software for macs and have a mac business unit. I hope someone can get some shots of macs being unloaded from a truck.
slashdot, news for crazed liberal socialist zealots
..they recounted with pride such tales as the colleague who broke up with a girlfriend who bought a Windows PC.

that guy definitely does not read
well, maybe he does now
vodka, straight up, thank you!
Microsoft's muscular Herculean right arm has no idea what its tiny, flubbering nub of a left hand is doing.
Now imagining this congealing beast of a company with the head of Steve Ballmer gives me an interesting image. Kind of like the Trapper Keeper blob from South Park.

Cool, so I can get a job with Microsoft just for macking? I do that in my free time, anyway!
True story.
May Microsoft burn in hell for corrupting a Mac!!
well, maybe he does now
The guy's a Mac user...he can get another girlfriend
I come from a LAN down under
Where the packets flow and routers chunder
Back in my day real time spell-checking was your cousin sitting next to you with a Speak 'n' Spell, keeping pace at 35 WPM!
I like big butts and I cannot lie.
Maybe every business has a unit that uses competitors products like Coke has a Pepsi unit and Crest has a unit that brushes their teeth with Aqua Fresh. Its like one big Utopian Free-Market captialist society....
Trix are for kids!
How else are they going to get any work done when they get hit with these Outlook viruses?
I'd be waiting to mug their sanitation guys with that kind of stuff being thrown away. Bet there's perfectly good G3/G4's going soon.
Tweet, tweet.
What does he show up with nest time I see him. Exactly what I told him *NOT* to get.
This guy was clueless about the subject, and chose to ignore my advice - from someone who has made a living as a musician, built and repaired guitars, and played everything under the sun (at the store, of course).
I didn't say anything. I made a mental note to never waste my time again.
As far as the girly, good riddance. If she can't see why a Mac is better, when she's had every opportunity (the guy's behind one of the best selling mac software titles, for Bill's sake - I'm sure he has a nice one at home), then the hell with her.
I think it says something when someone asks for advice from someone who actually gives a rat's ass beyond some commission or reward *and* is well versed in the subject (a rare thing these days), and goes ahead and ignores it.
I think this statement is fine. Life is too short to waste your time, especially when it's about chicks.
Is she going to ignore advice from her doctor to stop screwing Haitian man-whores? Not listen to her investment manager when he says, 'That Nigerian email is a scam'? How about the recommendation of her video store clerk that 'Caligula' is not a movie to bring over to her niece's slumber party?
I mean, it's questionable at this point.
Change the PC to something you care and are knowlegeable about and see if that little voice in your head says, "Hey, she ignored your advice! MARRY HER!" or if it says, "Hey, she ignored your advice! That chick at the coffe shop was looking at you..."
I'll let you ponder that one.
I haven't seen an article yet about the MS Linux Business Unit programmers.
Oh, wait. That's because the Microsoft Linux Business Unit has no programmers - just a legal staff, and they are outsourced to some company based in Utah.
