Like MacDonald's recent hip-makeover marketing efforts, Allchin wants to engender a hip, consumer brand image for the company which is largely perceived as an enterprise software company. Microsoft would like to capture some of the cachet that Apple Computer has among the fashionable and Hollywood tech elite."

Yeah, ya know that's the one thing. I get pissed at apple because of the cost of their products(you know my rants about it)... But I do respect their aesthetics... Anyways, this is funny, IMHO.
Watch, when you see a computer in a movie or TV show, and see what OS it's using? 9 times out of 10, it's MacOS... I think that's funny.
Personally, I think it would be a coup if they were using Linux.
But yeah, i see why MS wants "product placement"... Mac gets it all!
