MacBU birthday, anti-Vista

In brief: Microsoft's Mac Business Unit (MacBU) celebrated its 10th anniversary on February 6th, acknowledging the group's formation in 1997. A few Mac BU members decided to arrive at the office early to set up giant pixelated designs -- which were created in Excel -- in the windows made entirely from sticky notes to commemorate the occasion.... Apple is planning to heat up its anti-Vista campaign at its international retail stores later this week by issuing new store displays and employee t-shirts that softly mock Vista as a weak attempt at a modern operating system. The company also challenged its employees to learn about and tout the advantages of Macs over computers running Windows Vista in a multi-page training manual.

Taiwan-based Matsunichi has previewed its iPF7 iPod video dock, offering a completely self-contained music and video system for Apple's portable player. The dock is compatible with any fourth-generation or later dockable iPod to play music, photos, or video through a 7-inch display and speakers.
