Rats, Ship, Sinking scenario
in Unsolicited, rabid opinions , Tuesday, June 27, 2006
iView Multimedia today announced their acquisition by Microsoft. A very, very carefully worded FAQ includes:
"Microsoft will fully support the existing Mac products, will continue to sell Mac versions of the current iView product line and will offer upgrade pricing to all Mac users of future products that may be available based on the iView products."
"Microsoft will continue to sell Mac versions of the CURRENT iView product line" - there's certainly room for manoeuvre there.
"..will offer upgrade pricing to all Mac users of future products.." - but not necessarily Mac versions thereof. After what Apple did to Logic users, who could complain ? Mind you, since Macs can run WinXP, it isn't so clear what a "Mac version" is anymore.
At least Bill Gates will use the money wisely....
Sick as a parrot, John.
