Adam Anderson, Microsoft public relations manager, told News.com, 'It's basically a business decision for Microsoft. Like any other company, we have business priorities. Our focus really is in delivering the best experience to Windows customers.'"

    I swear to Gawd I'll go postal if someone on /. suggests that Microsoft open-sources WMP for the Mac...

    I heard that George W Bush is advocating Microsoft open-source WMP for the Mac!

    (Like nobody saw that coming!)

    Was that a "George job"? Is it against Fed. law?
