MSOffice is not bound to the Windows platform. http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/office2004/office2004.aspx?pid=office2004 And based on the success of MSO, I don't believe that many people care about the binding to the file format. Alternatives exist today, and have for a long time, but MSO formats continue to dominate. -- - Chad Smith http://www.gimpshop.net/ Because everyone loves free software!
