Just wait until the CxOs and the bean-counters finally realize that they don't need massive Windows virus monitors IT staffs.

Good one! I hear Ballmer is building an ark, and loading it with 2 of every kind of office chair.

He'll probably forget to build a door to his boat

Do I see full exchange support in Mail in June? I certainly do hope so.

"Do I see full exchange support in Mail in June?"

It looks possible. But I'd bet a whole dollar that it will appear in Mail long before Entourage. The MS Mac BU has more important things to do like plugging vulnerabilities and making newer, shinier icons for Messenger.

I second (or maybe third by now) freefromdesign's comment.

I would imagine mail app for the iPhone and Leopard are similar. So it should be relatively easy to have exchange work for both.

"Still, he said, the iPhone won't be ready for broad application development because IT shops have little experience with the iPhone and with the modified version of the OS X operating system that it runs on, Dulaney said in an e-mail," Hamblen reports.

"In the report, Gartner briefly mentioned a range of ways IT shops can prepare for iPhone development and support, including hiring developers familiar with mobile OS X and even acquiring Macintosh computers and training for those developers," Hamblen reports."

Yes, Unix (OS X) *IS* a mystery to most corporate IT drones. But does Hamblen *NOT* understand that the iPhone runs the full version of OS X under the iPhone GUI? Did he miss the developers' kit keynote?

Gartner Group has got to be one of the worst predictors of IT Trends. Here they are just jumping on the band wagon. I wouldn't put 2 cents into there opinion. But in this case they know they are right...because they are just following everyone else. How can you go wrong with iPhone, just too strong of a product!!!!!

Yes, but Balmer's ark will run on a Windows based navigation system and will soon founder, becalmed at sea.

Maybe Ballmer can ride his pony on his boat.

1. Ballmer has to get Microsoft to build something that floats- other than its software.
2. They have to get their immunization before getting on the boat.
3. Attempt to weather the onslaught of virus'.
4. Have Apple's corporate number to their sea bottom headquarters as they ride out the storm in serene comfort!

Simple for Microsoft- prepare for doom!

I think these articles should make it more clear that 2.0 is a free software upgrade and not a new piece of hardware.

Sorry to distract from all the Ballmer talk. Carry on.

Oh yeah. Ballmer sucks.
