Microsoft Exec Would Rather Get a Mac
Saturday, December 16th, 2006 | Mac Resources
As Microsoft continues to battle antitrust law suits, evidence has been revealed that one of Microsoft’s top development executives would buy a Mac if he didn’t work for Microsoft. In an Iowa trial, Comes vs. Microsoft Corp., a copy of a 2004 email from James Allchin was presented as evidence. In this email to Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates, Allchin who is a co-president of Microsoft’s platform and services division writes that Microsoft has lost the vision of what it means to produce great products and tells them that he would buy a Mac if he was not employed by Microsoft. This report comes through Computerworld.com.
This email was written more that 2 years ago. Since then Apple has released several upgrades to OS X and Microsoft is finally releasing Vista. I wonder if Allchin would still choose OS X over Windows or has Microsoft been able to regain the vision of what it means to produce great products.
