That is not correct.
Microsoft bought iView in 2006, which is now reincarnated as Microsoft
Expression Media.
Some research could probably bring up more too.
Could be there are more. I just used the info from Wikipedia which
listed all the Macintosh software that Microsoft ever made, and there
are hundreds. Until 1998. When Gates got pissed that Jobs was back in
town, and ceased development of all Mac software. Office 98 ran ok for
a while, but then MS had to cough up Office 2004 when 98 stopped
working. Office 04 became progressively more crippled over time, so
they reluctantly came out with Office 2008 for the Mac - in 2009.
The Post 1998 Wikipedia list consists of Office 2008, which they make
look like more by listing each function separately, even though none
are available separately.
Does MS Expression Media Run on a Mac?
