Microsoft Cheating Mac Users?
Speculation among Apple users is that Microsoft is cheating them with the Mac versions of their software, the biggest being their popular MSN Messenger. The Mac version of this software tends to be at least a year behind its windows version, even though most differences could be made in mere hours of programing.
The Mac version of Messenger was just updated to version 4.0.1, while the Windows version is currently at version 6.2. This means the Mac version is behind in several features such as:
- User images
- Games
- and much more...
The argument might be that Microsoft doesn't have any responsibility to Mac users so it doesn't need to invest at all in a Mac version; this maybe true but Apple has always kept its Windows versions of popular software such as iTunes and Quicktime at par with its Mac users.
