MS always makes better versions of their software for macs, pehaps because
the mac users are more demanding for good interfaces? lol

Most Mac software is missing features of Windows software. That's why I
spend about 90% of my time in Windows and 10% in OS X.

Oh yea, start your research. Go to the library and ask the librarian to
help you find the right books. Then take them to someone who can explain it
all to you. In about 2 years, you just might have a clue!

Ooops - looks like we both were wrong. Office 2008 for OS X DOES have the
ribbon, and the above review seems to like it! I'll have to break down and
install it on my OSX86 here!

So much for "everyone hates the ribbon"!

Perhaps "many" or "millions" would be a fair statement.

I have the feeling his "research" will consist of furiously looking for a
review that doesn't like the ribbon!

Rubbish. Put your most frequntly-used commands on the QAT and minimize
the ribbon. That actually gives you MORE space then the old menu-style
toolbars.


I'll take 2003 over 2007 anytime. What was MS thinking when they
designed Office 2007??

...let me ask you again...what are your design credentials? Did you
graduate from a DAA school? Do you work in a design studio? Is your
opinion a professional designer opinion? Or is it only your own,
personal opinion that is clearly shared by a very small minority of users?
Care to actually answer that question?

Care to tell us all about your "marketing" company Francis? You've been
asked many times to tell us and you keep refusing to do so.

Cheers.
