adoptive step-spawn of Satan

  • 아티클

Here's my favourite comment that was posted over at Mac Mojo this week:

It really helps to know that while Microsoft is *as a whole* may be the evil spawn of Satan, there are parts of Microsoft that are at worst merely the adoptive step-spawn of Satan.

Heh. I think that's a comment that our PR folks are never going to run with.

    Oh, I dunno:

    "Microsoft Macintosh Business Unit: We're only 40% as evil as the rest of Microsoft!"

    "Office 2004: Works Great! Less Evil!"

    "Microsoft Entourage 2004: Keeps the evil off your Mac, and on Exchange, where it belongs!"

    "The Microsoft Mac BU: Because sometimes, you only need a lesser evil"

    Try the veal, I'll be here all week.

    Just in case you were wondering why John is a sysadmin instead of a marketing guy ...

    I don't know... "Office:mac The Less Evil version" sounds good to me.

    However, I don't think there was ever much doubt about John, and very little doubt why I'm not in marketing either.

    Any comments?

    Even Adobe has their act together with a working PS on Intel.

    Oh, I don't know. Remind me, what was BBEdit's motto? ;)

    We announced at WWDC that we're 100% on Xcode.  Adobe's announcement is more recent than that.  We're happy to welcome them to the exCodeWarrior party.

    Is there a particular reason you're spamming my blog with random links?

    Um...CS3 hasn't shipped yet.

    Um...

    http://www.forbes.com/2006/03/23/adobe-chizen-earnings_cz_dal_0324adobe.html Creative Suite 3 will be introduced in the second quarter of 2007.

    3/23/06 is before WWDC, and a release date of Q2 2007 as well as prior to the projected release of Mac Office 12 in Q3 2007, no? Or were you referring to something else?

    Granted, this does not explicitly state "Hey! We're on XCode now!"...but one would assume a release date that's closer in means being somewhat further along. I sure would want to be done with compiler switchovers well BEFORE I announced feature complete or started handing out betas. :)

    Also... I find it fascinating that Mary Starman's giving interviews to reporters, but didn't bother posting anything on Mac Mojo about this... aand the two posts in the past week there are basically "Hey! These are neat links for you!". I don't think you guys are getting the hang of this blogging thing quite yet- you all missed an opportunity. You could have BROKEN news on a team blog.
