When I saw the title I thought an Apple exec got fired. Anyway, it looks as though Microsoft is starting to realize the threat that Apple poses to their profits.

Not quite sure why but I just got a mental image of Morbo from Futurama using a Macbook Pro.

I was actually driving in that area that same night but didn't know it was at Apple until I turned on the late night news.

I remember thinking a silly thought to myself of "Gee, I hope the price of my MBP doesn't go up". Two weeks later, my new MBP was the same price and smoke-free.

LOL
