The thing is MS need to use Apple computers to test their for Mac software. But Apple only need to use Apple computers to test everything even their windows software.

Um you do realize that the single biggest maker of Mac software outside of Apple IS MS right? This has been true for years. MS has a whole business division dedicated to Mac software, again, has for years. What do you think they test that software on?

Either way I heard Microsoft got busted for making their "I'm a PC" advertising videos using Apple software, which I find funny.
