    Consider Apple even mentions Office in its adverts for iLife '04, I think the powers-that-be at Infinite Loop would agree would you.

    And that has to do with a preview of the new version in what way? Maybe we need to do a thread on why people might or might not upgrade so people can make comments such as the one above?

    MS Office is a definite must have on the Mac. For the moment anyway. Without it, there isn't any other competitive office suite. It'll be a few more years before OpenOffice hits the Mac as a native app.

    So right now, for those who need the ability to communicate with the rest of the world (i.e. save in Office formats), MS Office is the best, if not the only choice. All the other office suites still fall in terms of interoperability with MS Office.

    Or, at the very least, one that actually *runs* on the G5???

    Well, we all know that that's coming with VPC 7, so that's been clear since January, hasn't it.

    Lemme put it this way: the Mac BU makes some decent apps, though they suffer from being part of Microsoft (case in point: almost all of the viruses out there for Mac (OS 9 at least) are Word macro viruses); Microsoft overall is the spawn of Satan.

    I still use Internet Explorer in OS 9, and I use Office in both OS's. It's funny how little Office has improved over 98; there are a few things I like (that I've actually found), like the formatting palettes on the right, but overall very little has really changed.
    Systems:
    2.5 GHz MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, 320 GB hard drive, runs 10.6.8
    1.6 GHz iMac G5, 1.5 GB RAM, 120 GB hard drive, runs 10.4.11 (out of commission)
    iPhone 4, 16 GB, iOS 4.3.5

    No! No way! I'm not against M$ Office! All I was trying to say is that there are some alternatives and just posted about them... You understood me wrong

    As for Office 2004 it seems that it will be ok with some nice features in but with some other features out!
    I find your lack of faith... Disturbing!

    Windows is a 32-bit extension to a 16-bit graphical shell for an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor by a 2-bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition

    ...not the sharpest knife in the drawer...
