  • The future of Apple and M$'s relationship

    I just read this interesting article about the future relationship between Apple, M$ and the open-source community.

    Since M$ has pulled IE from the Mac, Apple seems worried about loosing Office for Mac too

    the article is here:

    it was originally posted on 2003-06-18, so my apologies if this is old news to any of you

    Well, thats part of the problem with being so tiny of a company. Anyone you can get to code for you is like recieving donations, because unless you are going to charge ridiculous amounts for your software, its really tough to make coding Apple software worth while. There just aren't enough buyers to make it worth while.

    From the article. Microsoft has 150 Mac coders! And thats alot of paychecks to be supported by 5% of consumers just buying office software.
