Mac Office

I've been writing a review of Office 2008 for the Mac for SmartCompany over the weekend. While I'll spare the details of the review for their site, one thing that did leap out at me is the better integration of the Mac version over the Windows version.

Microsoft's Mac business unit seems to get this right in a way Microsoft's other divisions often don't.

Another thing I note is there are only three versions of Office for the Mac as opposed to the ridiculous seven on the Windows version.

It's funny that Microsoft seem to be doing a better job on other people's operating systems than on their own. I'd love to see what they could do with an Office for Linux product.
