They've learned their lesson and are now paying "protection" money in the form of political contributions.

Yep, with Exchange finally. And Apple admitting that they lack an enterprise suite. Yeah, Xserve IMAP Mail is not going to cut it in the year 2010. Thank god, because I've got 50 mac desktops at work and Entourage wasn't cutting it ;) Apple doesn't give a rat's ass about email, so they might as well let Exchange in. Plus Unified Communications is going to be huge on the consumer front (already getting big in business) and the iPad is one more convenient format to get your video phone in.

Lay off the crack bro.

To say that Java and .NET "don't fill the same roles" is hilariously retarded.

You've even managed to beat the fox news article I read earlier for FUD and stupidity!
