[Item Permalink] I would buy a Mac if I didn't work for Microsoft (wrote James Allchin) -- Comment()
Windows development chief: "I see lots of random features and some great vision, but that does not translate into great products. [... ] I would buy a Mac if I didn't work for Microsoft." --- An interesting comment by James Allchin.

Also, I didn't know that Microsoft has a policy of deleting mail after 30 days, according to Allchin: "This is company policy. Do not think this is something that only applies to a few people. Do not think it will be okay if I do this, it hasn't caused any problems so far. Do not archive your mail. Do not be foolish. 30 days."
