Really?

When my son worked for multimap it was taken over by microsoft and they gave 
his team the choice of which lap top to have, they all asked for mac book pro 
machines and microsoft agreed.

Or perhaps you don't think google are a big enough business, they have just 
announced that they are changing to Apple.

Sorry but I don't agree with you on this one.

Cheers
