I'd buy a Mac | |
|
||
| Time: 07:30 EST/12:30 GMT | News Source: Seattle PI | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

Microsoft executive Jim Allchin's "I'd buy a Mac" e-mail, introduced as a plaintiff's exhibit in the company's Iowa antitrust trial, was previously excerpted but not available in complete form. However, the full message has now been posted among the plaintiff's exhibits online. Here's the PDF, and I'll post the text below. As a reminder, Allchin wrote in his Dec. 12 blog post that the message was written three years ago, that he was "being purposefully dramatic to drive home a point," that the development process was subsequently overhauled, and that, as a result, Windows Vista is "far better than any other software available today." | ||

| I now have a much deeper respect for Jim. It takes b@lls to address the top honchos with the truth and have enough conviction and drive to win them over. His writing "LH is a pig and I don't see any solution to this problem. If we are to rise to the challenge of Linux and Apple, we need to start taking the lessons of "scenario, simple, fast" to heart." Jim, thank you for telling Gates and Ballmer what they needed to hear. |
