[Update] Microsoft Trying To Ban Apple Gear From Decibel Festival Conference 2011 (Which They Sponsor)?


If the above tweet by @MadronaLabs (hardware and software maker appearing at Decibel Festival Conference 2011 — a conference which Microsoft is a large sponsor of) is telling of a legitimate claim by Microsoft, well, it’s just sad they’re having to stoop that low. Let’s be real here for a moment. If you go to any art/music/tech event you’re going to see a higher number of Macs compared to the norm. That’s just how it is.

MacDailyNews hits the nail on the head by describing this move as a perfect candidate for the “Streisand Effect” award.

We’ve reached out to Microsoft to see if we can get any confirmation/denial of the allegations made above.

Update

A Microsoft spokesperson just responded to our request for comment with — “No Comment”. Pretty telling if you ask us.
