...and we know that if/when Apple rolls out a subscription model, they will retroactively become the inventor of the model.  All others only copied Apple's lead, as that is all anyone living in Apple's shadow can hope to do.

I like the small biz EULA update.  Volume license agreement setups are a pain for small companies, and it's definitely not worth the hassle for all the leg work.

For our business, we don't use the Forefront Client Security server management console, so MSE is something that we could use here.  We could use our OEM software loadout on machines that we build for in-house use now (except that the product keys need to be the ones from our MAPS pack).

As far as Microbe (pronounced my-CROW-bee) is concerned, I say that if Microsoft has the money, do it.  Apple has their own platform apps, and they haven't shown much love for Adobe over the years.    

"Because nothing the Zune did years ago is too old not to copy now" Oh, like the FM tuner nobody wanted until Apple put it in an iPod? And, like how nobody reads books anymore, well not until Apple opened their own bookstore.

For those of you who are Star Trek fans, one of my favorite quotes is "there is no piece of technology in existence that the Romulans didn't claim they invented before everyone else." I think we can reword that a little to fit Apple -- "there is no piece of technology in existence that anyone wanted until Apple started selling it." But of course, like the Romulans, Apple would have you believe they invented it first, too.
