IDG vs Apple

The Boston Globe has a followup article on the situation with Apple and MacWorld Expo. It appears IDG chief executive, Carlie Greco may step it up a notch, with hints of preventing Apple from attending MWSF:

    ''We still have a few arrows in our quiver,'' he said. And the sharpest may be a possible threat: If Apple won't participate in the Boston Macworld show, maybe Greco won't let the company display its wares at Macworld in Tokyo or Paris, or at the San Francisco show in Apple's backyard. ''You know how badly they want to do San Francisco,'' he said. ''We don't have to let them. We might not let you cherry-pick which Macworld events you do ... that's currently under discussion here.''
