Though it still defies logic why he would be fired,though he wasnot fired by Microsoft, rather by a sub-contractor. Granted he took a snap, we all want to test our software on different platforms to see how it works which would explain Microsoft using Apple Macs inhouse for alpha and beta testing(http://beta.microsoft.com/). To imagine that you will deploy software on hardware of your choice and expect it to find inroads in the lucrative PC market is to think in a box, not out of it. They have to test among others Office for Mac,Messenger for Mac. Just look at some of the products.http://www.microsoft.com/mac/ Guess it is much ado about nothing. ken
