Agreed - similarly, what features does Office v.X provide that are compelling enough to make people want to spend extra money to upgrade to it? Honestly, just the ability to run under OS X (only) and to look (arguably) pretty aren't enough - particularly if both come at the price of perceived performance losses. I'm just *really* happy and glad for folks like Paul that realize the need to interchange data between the two apps, and who provides a solution. Sweet. > At the moment, software development is a question of market segmentation and > diminishing returns. This, unfortunately, is true - Adobe, for example, was terribly hard-pressed to find additional features to add to Photoshop 7.0, just to warrant charging for an upgrade. I would figure that other software makers are in a similar predicament, as many consumers might not see 'just OS X compatibility" as enough of an incentive to pay for an upgrade.
