Even Microsoft wants G5s
If you have a job for Michael Hanscom let him know. Michael was fired from Microsoft recently for posting a picture on his blog of 3 palettes of dual 2 Ghz Apple G5s as they were being delivered to the Redmond Campus. This shouldn't necessarily come as a surprise that Microsoft purchases Mac products; to copy them, you have to have a few on hand to study. ;)
However, this follows suit in the current wave of employees who breach their company's security by posting company or trade secrets on their blogs. But it's gone a little overboard in this case since it's no secret Microsoft uses (and other computer companies use) their competitors' hardware/software for testing.
Update: Microsoft has just announced they are going to use IBM's PowerPC for the next generation of Xbox. Will Mac OS X run on the Xbox too????
