The Real Reason MS Dropped Mac Support...

Ballmer: ?Great news, Bill. We?ve got this cool new way of
implementing our MSN services while getting better tracking of
our users.?

Gates: ?What?s the bad news??

Ballmer: ?To implement it we have to break some W3C
standards, but that?s OK because we built support into our latest
browser update, which is used by 90% of the world. It will also
force our subscribers to not use competing browsers.?

Gates: ?That is good news. And we finally get to dump the Mac
community since we stopped updating that browser too.?

Ballmer: ?It just gets better and better for us.?
