I'd like to take you through this. The discussions actually began because there were some patent disputes. I know. Rather than repeating history, I'm extremely proud of both companies. They have resolved these differences in a very very professional way. This has led to an overall relationship which we're announcing today. It's got several parts to it, and we're extremely excited about it.
我想為你們說明這件事。這一討論開始的時候，實際是因為一些專利權的糾紛問題。但是我們沒有重復歷史，而是兩家公司都以非常非常專業的方式解決了這些差異，我為此感到驕傲。我想這直接促成了一個全面的合作關系，我們今天會將其分成幾個部分宣布，并且我們對其無比興奮。
The first part of it is a patent settlement cross-license. The two companies have reached a full cross-license for all patents the exist and for patents that are filed within next five years. It has been a very serious patent settlement. The second part of this is Microsoft is committing to release Microsoft Office on Macintosh for the next five years. They are going to release the same number of major releases as they release on Windows during that time. Their first release, they're going to target to have it out near the end of the year. It might slip a few months in the next year，but they're working real hard on it. It looks very, very good. Next, we have taken a look at browsers out there, and Apple bas decided to make Internet Explorer-it's default browser on the Macintosh.
第一部分是專利的協議和和一個交換許可。在未來五年內，兩家公司已經收到了針對所有提出的專利的一個完全的交換許可。我們曾有過很嚴重的專利權糾紛問題。第二部分是，未來五年內，微軟將致力于發布在Mac電腦上運行的微軟辦公軟件。他們將會發行相同數量的基于Windows系統的和基于Mac 電腦系統的辦公軟件。他們把首次發布的時間定在年末，這個也許會 拖延幾個月到明年，但是他們真的非常努力地在做這件事，這非常非常好。接下來，我們關注一下瀏覽器，蘋果決定將微軟的瀏覽器設為 Mac電腦的默認瀏覽器。
