The Cold War Between Microsoft and Apple Heats Up

Interesting developments lately in the world of potshots between Apple/Mac Users & Microsoft
If you have nothing better to do, first read this:
"Microsoft's Executives Discuss Apple Competition."
Then read John Welch's take on the above and also his analysis of where Microsoft's Mac Business Unit (MacBU) now fits in with Microsoft's reorganization (it's now in the Home and Entertainment Division along with the XBox): The MacBU at the Crossroads .
Then read Rick Schaut's response to John Welch (and make sure you read the comments for more tit for tat between Welch & Shaut). Schaut is a programmer for MacBU, specifically working on MS Word for the Mac: "Goin' Down to Rosedale."
Unfortunately, too much of the Mac's perceived survival still depends on Microsoft and to a lesser extent, Adobe, neither of whom (from my perspective) seem to care a whole lot about the Mac's survival. A lot may happen in the next two years...
