A Tour of Microsoft's Mac Lab (2006)


day I'll stop my 3rd person perspective. I'm going to write a little bit more about what I do to help MacBU ship great software and provide some color around what's it's like to work on Mac software at Microsoft.

So I have three questions...1) what is your electricity bill for all those Macs ;) 2) do you have any insider info on when MS going to release a universal binary for Office and 3) do you do have any Powerbooks, iBooks or Macbooks in the lab? The birth of Excel 1.0, not to mention its predecessor, Microsoft's first GUI spreadsheet known as Multiplan, quite a significant milestone in human history if only because of the number of lives eventually touched. There's a couple of reasons: 1) Privacy: Some folks don't want to have their pictures posted on the Internet 2) It's not like we live in the Lab, each of us has our own offices in which we do our work.
