Apple's Unlikely Guardian Angel | |
|

While plenty of other companies, friend and foe alike, abandoned the Mac platform, one firm's support never wavered. And when other companies failed to make products compatible with Macs, this software maker frequently made sure it shipped cross-platform products. In fact, without the backing of this firm, Apple likely would have died. Who is Apple's guardian angel? Well, it's the firm that Mac users most love to hate, the bogeyman of the Mac universe, the one company whose products some Mac fans refuse to use on principle: Microsoft. |

The last and only paid-for Microsoft product he uses was created in 1996, and you are quoting from an article almost two years old already.
I think most everyone else would consider that pretty damn free of Microsoft. |

Oooh, keep pointing to two year old articles...
And, yes, I'm sure QUITE A FEW people, including MICROSOFT, would think not giving MS a sinlge dollar in the last EIGHT YEARS is damn MICROSOFT FREE. |
