    Re-run, no?

    Concentrate on getting that forum-server instead of trying to come up with actual news... good thinking :)

    But damn... this is STILL a c***, biased article...

    Re-run, yes.

    But we've learned to expect things like this from MacNN, no?

    $187 Million return!!

    That's a good investment!!

    hahah...unless they give a copy to someone in China.
    (now now, I am only speculating on the news about increased piracy in Asia. MS has started a crack down (pun?) on its SouthEast Asia piracy abuse. Good luck).

    Crucial????

    It's interesting that the writer feels that Office is crucial to Apple's survival. I have a copy of Office 2001 on my machine but I barely use it!!! AppleWorks is a much more user friendly application. I know a lot of Mac users and several former PC users and the last thing they thought of when buying their Mac was that they could now spend over $400 for a new office suite package when they already had one installed on their new Mac for free. One reader called this story biased. I agree with this but I think the reason why so many people are biased agains Apple is because of ignorance.

    MS makes more than Apple

    If a buyer purchases an iMac with Office, Microsoft makes a higher profit margin than Apple.

    Kinda sad in a way.
