That's probably true, but I avoid macros anyway so that's not much of 
an issue (it's not much of an issue for most Mac users, since we either 
have our own local macros or we turn them off).

As for the rotated text, I haven't run into that but then nobody sends 
me those kind of files. Is it something you can fix (ie the text is 
there, just not rotated correctly)? If so, then I'd call that a minor 
issue. If not, that's a bit more of a problem.

James Lileks, on Apple's iMovie versus XP's Moviemaker:
"Was [my bro-in-law's] machine cheaper? Yes. But time is money; I've 
never had to claw my way through the sodden mess of a corporate website 
looking for the one driver that will let me do what I want to do. I've 
never had to spend a Sunday afternoon trying to understand what iMovie 
wants me to do, because it does what *I* want it to do. He said that 
Moviemaker made him feel stupid, because he couldn't figure out the 
simplest tasks.
I'll say this for his machine, though: if he ever wants to back up that 
3.3 GB movie file on floppy disks, he's all set."
