I agree. Let the MBU have at VPC.  M$ does not perceive Macs as a 
threat; they are not in the hardware business; if they are getting a 
few hundred bucks for any percentage of Macs sold it is in their best 
interest to keep that product working well.

Notice that they are not continuing the Linux version; Linux is a 
perceived threat to M$, so they are not going to help them along.
