[QUOTE="Nightblade, post: 37256"] Can you explain to me in what way? After all, Office on the PC is faster. Powerpoint has the F5 shortcut for viewing a slideshow, and inserting hyperlinks in PowerPoint takes less time on the Windows version too. Also, when inserting symbols on Office X, you can only use the three different fonts (the symbol fonts mainly), but on the Windows Office versions you can insert symbols from ANY font. Also, I've heard people having problems in Office X when they try to copy something from PowerPoint and insert it into Word (or the other way around) and apparently this problem isn't in the Windows versions. I don't know if any of these problems have been fixed in Office 2004 for Mac, but I assume they haven't (could someone who has Office 2004 please verify this?). So, in what way exactly do you think that MacOffice is superior to WinOffice? I mean, Microsoft makes Windows, so wouldn't it make more sense for them to make the superior product for their OWN operating system? Or at the very least, the Mac and Windows versions are equal. After all, MSN Messenger for Windows is FAR superior than the Mac version, and the same goes for Windows Media Player and for the most part, Internet Explorer (mainly due to the fact that toolbars can be added to Explorer for Windows and pages can be edited in Word or FrontPage). So once again, I'll ask, what way exactly do you think that MacOffice is superior to WinOffice? (NOTE: I realize they're not actually called MacOffice and WinOffice, but it's faster than saying "Microsoft Office for Mac" and "Microsoft Office for Windows") [/QUOTE]
