Especially notable are the dozens of reader comments at the end of the
article. Here's an excerpt:

In love with OS X
"Microsoft loves OS X, at least our division does," Browne said. "Other
people in the company may be sweating a little bit."
Browne said Carbonizing Office 2001 "will give us the opportunity to make
the programs work much better on the Mac OS," adding that the development
team is "stoked" about creating the "aesthetics" of OS X interface for the
next Office.
Indeed, with the Aqua interface, the Carbonized version of Entourage sported
a smarter look than the current version. Browne said the next version will
also include several new features, but he would not specify what they were.
"We're going to do some great things with OS X, he said. "We're also going
to put a lot of effort into performance."
Browne also showed Word running under OS X. The program displayed clean font
alignment and spacing and intuitive font management. In "Jobs-esque" style,
he also showed how a QuickTime movie playing on a Word page fluidly pours
into and out of the Dock. "Our other apps aren't as far along," he admitted.
To help Apple entice users over to OS X, Microsoft will offer a limited-time
upgrade price of $149 for Office when the suite ships in the fall, he said.
"These are just the bare beginnings," Browne said. "At Macworld in July
we'll be able to show you stuff that will knock your socks off."
