There's loads of stuff. I work in IT and the main product we
develop uses
the MS toolkit. I'm not interested in the hassle of finding non-MS
clones
for this stuff, and I'm not about to pay for it again when I
already have
it.
There are also a few other non-MS development tools I use regularly
which
are not available on Macs
OTOH, I believe Micro$soft is still the largest vendor of Mac
software.
Explain yourself, please.
Microsoft is currently selling 1 software program for the Macintosh,
• Microsoft Office (1998-2008) (with some breaks in computability)
which consists of :
• Microsoft Excel Version 8.0 (1998), 9.0 (2000), 10 (2001), 11
(2004), 12 (2008)
• Microsoft PowerPoint Version 8.0 (1998), 9.0 (2000), 10.0 (2002),
11.0 (2004), 12.0 (2008)
• Microsoft Word Version 8.0 (1998), 9.0 (2000), 10 (2001), 11
(2004), 12 (2008)
• Microsoft Entourage (2001-2008)
Apple probably sells more copies of iLife and iWork to Mac users at
$89-$99 each than MS sells Office for Mac for $299-$440.

This thing that you see,
Why in the world,
Would it excite me?
