Usually the people who start bashing a high end app suite are the ones whoSo what do you want to do, compare portfolios, usually people who steal the high end Apps are the ones saying Not Me
don't have the $$$ to buy it....or can't steal it!
Are we going to start bashing Photoshop next?
While we are at it Adobe Acrobat 7 does leave features off the windoz version and screw them I will stay at 6.
Addressing the issue of MS no longer supporting Internet Explorer....so
what! Safari rocks! MS knows that and methinks it's the reason that they
aren't moving on with IE.
Really wow did not know that one thanks
So what does "methinks" do when Microsoft says Apple is improving Appleworks and it Rocks, so M$$ is not going to upgrade or build any Office products or scale it back for the Mac, not enough sales. I have read where the "Apple Group" is now not exactly the top spot at Gates University and getting the requirements needed for development, their not at the head of the class so to speak. I will bet you have seen you last full release of Office for the Mac But no worries M$$ now owns VPC and that runs great, so if you get VPC you can run straight windoz office" That M$$ always thinking ahead for better products for the Mac
M$$ beats the lawsuits with a little window dressing, rubbing up to Apple, working "very hard" to build a version of Office for Mac X. After all Bill did say MS is a good company and competition is good for us, keeps us on the cutting edge."chuckles."
So now all M$$ problems have vanished. They heavily gave to the incumbent chair warmer, so what's the advantage to Bill to keep putting out good Apple products, more money, fear of loss of integrity by the biggest killer of technology in the world.
Keep playing Siegfried and Roy and you just might be reading up on Windows more then you want
I did not say Office Sucks. I have to keep one scummy machine with it. I said, hold Apple to the fire for better software, that you IT guys, who I respected, have the power to say hey do it this way and it will work better and maybe it will bring some change. But it is very interesting to hear the input from you IT guys.
I always wondered how this list of phrases got started, the biggest road blocks I have heard to be associated with getting people to switch to Apple or getting their first computer and have it be an Apple. This is branded in there heads.
"Microsoft is for serious business work- I need to look professional, Macs are for artists to play on, Macs are not serious business computers, can't e-mail to Microsoft and everybody in business uses Microsoft, the different computers will not work together, everybody knows their is no software for the Mac. "
It's all bunk, but dragged in like the dirty coal on the miners clothes and just as deadly to have a reliance on one operating system as to breath the dust, it also seems that a few folks do not like M$$.
So the individuals buy windoz, unless you can unwrap what has been wrapped so very tightly by a sources that for the majority are probably working with what the Tech guy wants. He is the guru, so it slides downhill.
The very people who could be helping shape the future of the Mac, at one of the best times I have seen Apple in the spotlight and be accepted as a "real computer." Sit back and say this is the way it is, this is the way it stays, why change. So your influence of programs extends to your company computers and the people who use them. Yet post to Mac sites without a utterance of I called Apple and said or I wrote Apple and suggested a change. Just a lot of yelling and believing the benevolent Bill will come through with Office 07
I think part of the problem is Microsoft = Job Security for tech.
I am to tired to hope every body who knows Bill gets a free copy of the new Office. Just don't whine when it's gone and there is no replacement. Change needs a voice
