Microsoft makes money on Mac and Windows software.

Why not with their hardware offerings.

BTW, love my Microsoft trackball. (God I can't believe I just said that!)

I hope they introduce wired versions, too.

All Microsoft USB keyboards are Apple Compatible, some even have the cloverleaf (command) key. The only big deal with this one is that it is a laser mouse.

If it was bluetooth, I'd be all over it. I still need to find a good bluetooth set up for my iMac.

That keyboard sitting next to an ACD would make me vomit.

Pros:

Ergonomic Keyboard
Laser Mouse

Cons:

No Bluetooth. Every Mac made recently has this built in, use it.
Looks like a PC setup. At least logitech made theirs white.

Why does microsoft think that people need a individual button for everything? The top and left hand side are cluttered with extra/non-standard buttons and why? Because someone thought it would be easier to add a button rather than the end user learning a keyboard combination.
Jeez....

sadly, it will sell like hotcakes because of the tag "for Macs" at the end, and consumers will get it just because it says that. I do enjoy the build quality and lastibility of Microsoft Hardware though.

I agree.

I am not sure about the keyboard but this mouse is probbaly the next one i will get. There are some nice pics of it here. I just wish they mad one to match the MBP seeing as that is probbaly what i will get next.
