Is this supposed to be a surprise? This would be a major PR-flap if a Gates family member were photographed holding an iPhone or sitting around a coffee house with a MacBook.

One would assume the Jobs family isn’t doing their homework in MSOffice either. Although their hardware engineering group certainly isn’t using MAC OS, I can tell you that with a high degree of certainty.

I’ll bet that anyone in management at Pepsi or Coke companies won’t buy the competitor either. Standard stuff.

****************************

1) What do they run for their OS?
2) What application do they run on that OS?
3) Why can’t MacOS run that application, if that’s what you said.

Your assumption would be faulty. Widespread media play of Mac users loading up Office 2008 would only increase switchers. Office is a killer app.

This is a nonsensical comment, one of the clumsiest attempts to bash OS X I've seen in a while.
