[mdlug] Apple drank the M$ cool-aid

[Dave Arbogast]

If you do the iPod promo and try to use their on-line rebate form, 
http://www.apple.com/promo/rebate/  it allows you to enter free hand the 
date. If you use "07" rather than "2007" it will accept it on the page 
for entering the product, but when you try to submit the rebate, the MS 
Dot Net frame work chokes.

I find it interesting they are hosting on apple.com with M$ OS rather 
than what they try and say is OS X....

PS - From what I understand, Jobs doesn't return calls from fellow 
Millionaires at institutions, so why bother to inform them. Their call 
center has no clue.
