Goodbye Jim,we hardly knew ye

Jim Allchin has quickly become Microsoft employee #1 as far as we’re considered here at MacUser. He loves both Macs and iPods. He’s become a source of endless Apple compliments. We love it and him for it.
With today’s Vista launch, Jim can call it a career and will be headed for a sunny retreat on the 1st.
Allchin is skipping the big gala launch of Vista in New York, opting to preside over an internal company event in Redmond on Tuesday. A day later he will finish up at Microsoft and the next day he’s headed on vacation. “February 1, I’m going to go where it’s warm, on a boat.”
Good for him. Following that rest though, I hope he considers a position at Apple. He’ll fit right in. If you’re reading Jim, tell them MacUser sent you (and don’t forget that we backed you).
