The SJ Mercurty: behind the MacBU
updated 04:05 pm EST, Mon November 19, 2001
The SJ Mercury News talks about the business behind the MacBU, Microsoft's Mac-focused software group and the complex relationship between Apple and Microssoft. The article notes that MacBU expects to sell $30 million worth of Office v.X software between now and the end of the year and also that Microsoft "no longer holds any of the $150 million in Apple stock it bought four years ago."

No longer holds?
I thought the stock wasn't exactly normal stock. I know it was non-voting stock. Maybe it could still be sold, but I almost thought it was supposed to be tied into the five-year nature of the agreement somehow. Could be wrong.
