Microsoft fires employee for a posting on personal blog
Microsoft fired an employee for a posting on his personal blog and showing a picture of a truck unloading a palet or Macintosh G5s into the Redmond Campus PrintShop loading dock. There are a couple of things amiss here. One: Be careful of what you blog and what you write, it might come back and bite you. I dont want to debate how ethical it is for Microsoft to beat down an employee taking pictures of their campus and posting them or talking about Microsoft buying G5s. Two: Microsoft if actually buying G5s for their graphics production work. What does this say about the power and the prowess of Macs in graphics based applications?

Don’t be naive… Microsoft has a whole division (MAC Business Unit) for making software for Macs. Are they supposed to test the software on PC’s?
I bet if you went down to Apple headquarters you would find a few PC’s lurking in dark corners too. Itunes runs on PCs too remember.
