Nope. He has ninety days to exercise them, just like any other employee who leaves the company.

This is not always the case.

It is at Apple.

Hint for the clue-free: The world does not revolve around Apple
Computer Company.

So in other words, Tom, what you're saying is that Apple's just part of the statistics. And therefore, what you said earlier was indeed still true. That's what I, or any other beyond-a-reasonable-doubt person, would think, wouldn't they?

Kudos to Tom to point this out in the first place. He redefines the definition of "Troll".

Though anecdotal - - My life on the other side (20+ w/MS) did not ever consider Apple let alone disparage it.
Plus, I spent more than a bit of time at the MS.pubic groups and the focus is totally on the OS except when a 'sharing issue' arose.
Such is my CV...
But here?
I've been struck that the minority (at least the OS..iPod is diff) is the target of more abuse in a week (here) than my accumulated decades at the public forums.
Maybe a shrink would know...but the M$ groups lacked both resident Apple bashers and visitors from this team.

If you don't believe be, take a trip over there?
They may be thick headed, tunnel visioned "notourfault" ond full of the take it or leavit suck-ups who don't admit wrong - - But they to don't obsess about Mac either.
Maybe it's personal regarding the individuals who jump on the soapbox here? (Didn't get enough attention at some point?)

So, true or not (my observation?), if anyone else has been on both sides of the fence and is also of an open mind I'm sure they'd agree with me.

The why is not answered...But it's beyond obvious:
There are people with a M$ission & I've only seen them here.

If it means nothing - - I wonder why it exists. I refuse to find motive and intent. That's not to say it doesn't exist.

Speak up visitors.
What is so inviting, here?
Are you volunteers of is it 'worth your time'?
