Transcribed by hand from a scanned document or screenshot. Small typos are possible; the source link has the original.
I appreciate your mail. It shows the kind of passion about great products that has made Microsoft successful. I admit we have neglected the Mac business. Although the Mac is declining if we move ahead on this product we should ask for the subs with localized product to make a real effort
I have 2 things I need to understand better
1) Realistically when do we think we would ship this product?
2) Can we avoid Apple knowing how far along we are for the next 30 days?
