Title: Microsoft buys Connectix! (Virtual PC) Post by: |MP|Buccaneer on February 21, 2003, 08:13:30 pm Seems that the makers of Virtual PC (the windows emulators that many use on the Mac) are going to be Microsoft employees.
What do you think will happen? Title: Re:Microsoft buys Connectix! (Virtual PC) Post by: tasty on February 21, 2003, 08:34:51 pm Nothing good can come of this.
Title: Re:Microsoft buys Connectix! (Virtual PC) Post by: kami on February 21, 2003, 08:57:48 pm I heard of this two days ago, they actually just bought VPC and not the whole company, Connectix. But anyway, you never know what good they might incorporate into it, maybe we'll see some blue screens?
Title: Re:Microsoft buys Connectix! (Virtual PC) Post by: |MP|Buccaneer on February 21, 2003, 09:02:15 pm Yes, to be more correct, they only bought the business unit (software and about 1/3 of the employees) that makes Virtual PC.

Title: Re:Microsoft buys Connectix! (Virtual PC) Post by: PsYcO aSsAsSiN on February 21, 2003, 09:29:49 pm MIcrosoft will make a vastly inferior, buggy piece of shit VPC. It will require downloading and installing several patches which leave you open for a hack attack whether or not you install them.
Your once invulnerable Mac OSX will become suseptable to hackers and virii. Microsoft will then proceed to blame you for anything that happens to your computer (Because you did or did not install their patches), even though their computers are getting hacked all the time. Sound familiar? Title: Re:Microsoft buys Connectix! (Virtual PC) Post by: alaric on February 21, 2003, 09:52:48 pm I still miss bungie...
