My favorite part about the Microsoft translation is that MS reportedly had to go out and buy a bunch of MacOS machines for the Open AI folks because they didn’t want to use the operating system that their future employer made.
I wonder if Apple’s two week return policy works for enterprise purchases of hundreds of machines.
I can assure you that Microsoft already purchases a ton of Macs. They develop software for Mac and iOS, after all.
Do they just hand them out though to developers?
Edit: it’s a question, why the downvotes? Can I ask a question? Y’all are a tough crowd.
Maybe not MacBooks, but some OSX device is needed if you want to develop for iOS. And I don't see why they wouldn't do that, a Mac is not that expensive from a business point of view.
