| Would we see Mac .NET? The five-year-old Apple/Microsoft partnership is going to expire. Would we be able to see any Mac .NET plans or products? http://www.newsfactor.com/perl/story/17161.html

| I have a feeling we will. Microsoft knows that there will be a lot of new Mac users if Apple plays their cards right. And Microsoft really doesn't care about Windows on the desktop as much anymore. Their main goal is to get every server in the world running NT and .Net. So, if they open up their .Net to work on more OSes, then that means more people will use and pay for their services, so in the long run they make money from Mac users and Windows users, and the profit from Windows XP is lower than the total .Net income. They think in Money, not Mac vs. Windows.  |

| Come on guys and gals. We really are pretty hard on Microsoft. I mean, sure, Windows DOES suck generally, but tere area a couple of good features, Office v.X is excellent, and Internet Explorer, for all its problems, is actually pretty good. Please don't think I'm a Microsoft fan! I dislike Bill Gates, but they have helped Apple. Very few people who use macs now would if they couldn't use IE or Word, would they? And in the end, it is just a computer, right? ~*~*~*~*~*~ And as to seeing .NET? Of course we will, but that doesn't mean it will become the standard, or incorporated into MacOS, like it is with WinXP.
