here's a tissue (continue crying...)
How is that Microsoft punishing anyone? How much money is it for Microsoft to make software for the Mac? What is the installed user base? How much of a profit do they make? Is it worth it?

But, if they invested time in Windows Server, Pocket PC, XP, Tablet, Media Center, collaboration software, and MICROSOFT OFFICE...wouldn't that be a better use of their time?

Oh, sure they can make something, but when it's not the #1 thing on their radar...I guess they are just punishing their consumers.

I mean, hey, Ford made the Model T, but they aren't putting out any new parts for them...I think they are punishing the consumers...oh wait, no, they have new products that are much more profitable...hmmmmm
