Remember when Microsoft invested $150 million in Apple in 1997? Part of that contract was a promise that Microsoft continue developing Microsoft Office, Internet Explorer, and development tools for Mac OS until August of this year. In exchange for the money and applications for their platform, Apple dropped their lawsuits against Microsoft. Will Microsoft continue developing Mac OS products past their August agreement date? David Coursey thinks they will, but he also wants them to commit to five more years and add support for technologies that are missing or poorly supported on the Mac. He also mentions that Microsoft needs to prove that their Mac support is not merely posturing for their antitrust defense. Without control of the OS underneath, the visible pain of creating technology support for the Mac OS would clearly illustrate the intermingling of Microsoft’s apps and OS strategy.
