Title: A Tour of Microsoft's Mac Lab
Post by: Refalm on 21 April 2006, 15:20

Now, we all know Microsoft has an open source lab and a Mac lab.

A software design engineer - David Weiss - has posted some photo's and information about the Macintosh lab at Microsoft.
Note that this is posted on Google's Blogger, and not MSDN or MSN.

I 'm going to write a little bit more about what I do to help MacBU ship great software and provide some color around what's it's like to work on Mac software at Microsoft. Often when we have press events or special visits from our MVPs I'll give them a tour of the Mac Lab and explain what we do. They've always found it very interesting and so I thought I'd share a virtual tour of our Mac Lab.

They've ceased development on that.  All that's left really is Office.

 Ah, you must mean this (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html).  They've had WMV9 support in testing for some time now, dunno if they're up to 10 yet though.
