Microsoft does make Flip4Mac available from its download sites... I was under the impression that MS was in negotiations to buy Flip4Mac.

Yes, they do make it available, as I’ve seen it there, but it’s not theirs. They do it, because they were getting hammered for not having a version of their own program for Macintosh. So, they put Telestream’s program up, instead (of course, with an agreement from Telestream).
As far as Microsoft buying Flip4Mac, now that would *definitely* be bad news. All Microsoft does is *cripple* products and they sure don’t make them better. Telestream is doing a fine job now, and they don’t need Microsoft’s “cripple-ware” attitude to infect them by buying the company.
And besides that, if Microsoft did buy Telestream, eventually Microsoft would eventually be going down the same road and say that they were discontinuing Flip4Mac, too.... LOL...
But, I really haven’t read anything about Microsoft thinking or negotiating about buying Telestream, but I could have missed something... :-)
