Hmmmm- that's a very valid point I've missed hehehe!- I don't think M$ holds
a stake in Apple- but I do know that M$ helped out when Apple almost went
bust in 1998ish. I also know that the majority of servers in this (in the
office enviroment anyway) country are UNIX/ Linux based- connected mainly to
PC's running Windows with Office. It would make perfect sense for Apple to
incorporate Office (in order to boost sales- especially after the massive
Apple campaign run over here in the last year- the software licence for M$
must be enormous! Whatever happens, It's another closed chapter from the
great Emagic book....
