EVERY high tech company has a person or a team deticated to learning about completive products. Many have multiple. And these are pretty sweet jobs, since you are essentially anything from a consumer researcher to a flat at spy or reverse engineer.

Microsoft is a software company. They would be crazy not to write code for iOS/OS X. It just better be damned good code.

What really makes me sick is Apple offering to install/sell Microsoft Office on new Mac’s at the on line store.
It perpetuates the idea that you need Office, when really you only need it if your constantly trading files with other Office users, then your better off with a PC and Office instead to avoid formatting issues.
OpenOffice/LibreOffice or iWork or something else would be safer for your machine that any Microsoft product.

MS is so weird. There a software company that attacks platforms instead of writing software for them and making money. No wonder they fail at so many things, their not focused on their main job, writing software.
