Title: M$ and Apple
Post by: enzo250gto on 5 August 2002, 06:57

Can someone tell me how much of Apple M$ owns?  If I buy a PowerBook with OS X 10.2 will I be able to uninstall/delete all M$ products on the computer?

Well im not to sure about the whole m$ apple deal awhile back, but I think it was some large investments of sorts, like I said though im not sure.
But the only m$ app that came with my mac was IE and it was easily removed within minutes of turning the computer on for the first time.  Just delete the app and the preferences and, in most cases, the program is gone.

Back in around 1997 M$ bought 150 million in NON-VOTING stock.
A drop in the bucket, really. M$ made their investment back and more.
