At least Microsoft are trying? Come off it. What a lot of nonsense! Worse still, it seems Microsoft have deliberately left out VBA from the Mac version, it seems to stop the only major non-Mac development sector left; 3D design engineering packages like Siemens NX from coming to the Macintosh (see here; http://www.plmworld.net/home/blog/?p=35). Go figure?

I bought Apple iWork which is a far better office suite than Office 2008, having got sick to the back teeth of the overly complicated Microsoft Office 2004 (which I still own, but never use now).
Come on you Mac people- support the cause!! Pages is great. It works so much more smoothly than Word In pages too you can export to PDF and even DOC format- which works very well. Keynote is far, far more slick and sophisticated than clunky Powerpoint. Keynote takes advantage of the Mac's dual screen ability so that Keynote will prompt you- like an autoque prompt, so no continual turning around to watch the screen behind you. And then there is the Excel killer- Numbers, which is so much easier, so hence quicker to use than Excel. But best of all, iWorks applications are made by the same people who make your computer- so why purchase anything else?
