Folks, wake up. According to Apple's 10-K filing with the SEC, Microsoft
owns at least "150,000 shares of Apple Series A nonvoting convertible
preferred stock("preferred stock")".  They are directly profiting from
any purchase at the Apple store, and especially if you pony up your cash
for Office X.  

Any PC you buy, part of the money is going to Microsoft somehow, some
way, just deal.

Peace.
