What's this? A Macintosh on Channel 9? Are we gonna get fired for this?

Nah.

It's the Macintosh Business Unit at Microsoft. Meet some of the folks behind Virtual PC and Entourage and get a look into labs that most Windows developers at Microsoft have never seen.

This is the Silicon Valley part of the Macintosh Business Unit.

That's an Audiovox SMT 5600. It's a great phone.

Tablet PCs just make so much sense that I can't help myself. Maybe Apple will have one soon.
Man, you MAC doods sure get harassed a lot by the Windows team... Ah well, it's to be expected. It's nice to see the MAC Business Group so focused on quality and MAC user satisfaction... It would be nice to see a little more of that rub off on Windows...

Oh btw, what's the deal with the TabletPC salespitch throughout this "MAC Business Group" video? Why can't the MAC developers just show what their doing without the constant harassment?

Cause I am a Tablet PC lover. Sorry. But I think that a computer that you can't write on or carry around and use while standing up easily is a little lacking.

Well, it's great that you feel that way... I'm happy you're happy. But perhaps you could stick to the subject at hand in future videos (not just the MAC ones)? You could also do a video just on TabletPCs if you really want to talk them. Sorry about all the posts, but the TabletPC babble just really got on my nerves, specially since I was watching the video to find out about the MAC Business Group (as specified in the name of the video I clicked on).

I sorta agree with Grren_Ears, the constant Mac vs. PC proding is annoying. It's not enough to have to read various Platform War type messages all over the internet on anything related to Microsoft, but then we have to hear it from Microsoft people within their own company.

On the other hand... C9's concept and execution has been outstanding on the whole, so I rather give you guys compliments then to focus on a 1 bad thing out of 100 good things.

Well, OK, but when you get my videos you get my passion and my passion is the Tablet PC. Sorry. You aren't gonna remove that from who I am. I was a Tablet PC evangelist before I was hired at Microsoft.

Of course, this'll all make sense when Steve Jobs finally gets on the Tablet bandwagon too. Wink
