[Ti] MS dropping Office for Mac

[Daniel L Kegan, Kegan & Kegan, Ltd.]

Back a few years ago, I was involved in litigation and Apple
was on the other side. I was representing people and company strong Mac users.
Apple's outside attorneys were using WinTel. So it goes.

Some discrimination is unlawful, and wrong.
But I think a company can often choose as vendors companies
who favor using its products.
Other things being equal, more or less, why shouldn't Apple
give preference to Mac-using companies for Apple's own purchases.

Some states give veterans preference for government jobs;
some colleges give alumni relatives preference for admission;
some employers give preference to Mac-skillful job applicants.

I've long thought Apple should expressly give purchasing preference to
vendors that use Macs. And make it quite public.
