What I don't grasp is Apple's seeming indifference to the clear alterative: Open Office.
I use OO on other platforms, and where I must use a Word-ish product; it's the clear choice. [I prefer WordPerfect, and use it more, but that
is a side issue..]
The major trouble with OO on OSX is it does not run under Aqua, requiring X11. That means a jolting exception in areas such as key assigments, a hassle starting it, eyc.
I can't see why Apple is not providing the OO folks the resources they need to get a native OO port going now, not in a few years.
