9月3日,Apple公司的高级官员征解释了其收购Power Computing公司的决定之后,也阐明了该公司目前对发放Mac OS许可给第三方开发商的态度。在一次会议上,Apple公司称,它收购Power Computing公司的核心资产是因为这个最大的Mac兼容机生产厂商已经无力扩展Mac的市场份额。 Apple公司的首席财务官Fred Anderson表示:“如果我们能够有一个真正可以扩充Mac平台、扩大用户群和提高股东收益的许可计划,那么我们将会以积极的态度对待许可的发放”。

On September 3, Apple’s senior officials explained its decision to buy Power Computing, and also explained the company’s current approach to licensing Mac OS to third-party developers. At a conference, Apple said it acquired Power Computing’s core assets because the largest maker of Macs has been unable to expand Mac’s market share. Fred Anderson, chief financial officer of Apple Inc., said: “If we can have a licensing program that really expands the Mac platform, expand the user base and raise shareholders’ returns, we will treat the licensing with a positive attitude.”
