Sorry, no Apple for you: Microsoft's bid fruitless
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
It's not every day that Microsoft asks to put a competitor's logo on one of its own products. And the kicker is, the answer was "No." In a first for Microsoft's hardware group, the company is developing a keyboard designed just for the Mac. But regular Mac users will notice there's no Apple key.
To be clear, there is a key to the left of the space bar that will do everything the regular Apple key does. But the customary Apple icon is missing. Asked about the situation at the Macworld Expo this week, a Microsoft representative said Apple declined the company's request to use the iconic symbol on the wireless keyboard.
