Yes, software has to be recompiled to run on a different architecture. I think Apple's best option would be to develop their own Office-compatible office suite, either from scratch or in collaboration with some existing effort such as OpenOffice and tell MS to stick it. It'll never happen of course, since Apple are much too cautious and would never take such a risk :) _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
