Microsoft MacBU Global MVP Summit 2007

Does the Windows version of PP default to placing the toolbars over the window title, hiding the close/minimize/maximize buttons and the document name. Do they also obscure the name of the file when you save?

We should all do our part to eliminate Powerpoint from our lives. Not only are PP presentations insulting and a waste of time, the program itself is absolute crap.

20 years later, and no style sheets in a graphic presentation program? WTF?

Mac Office is crap compared to the Windows versions. I hate the floating toolbars, they take up too much screen space.

I am happy to now be able to run Office 2007 via Parallels/Coherence on my MacBook. (The Windows version of Office runs much faster than Office 2004, too)

You joke, but I have to say Office for the Mac is 100% better than Office for the PC, and is well worth the money.

As the owner of an 8 person mac web development company, we use Office day-in and day out. Apple's Mail app is *almost* there for prime time, but I've been saying that for 3 years now. They keep adding "features" instead of making it usable for large quantities of mail. In terms of sharing documents with clients, Word and Excel are it. There's just no competing with them, and they work. We explored some of the open source and other office apps on the mac and as a business owner, each time a program crashes and looses data, it costs me between $5 and $25 in lost work. Plus the frustration factor. If these programs crash once a month, it's still well worth it for me to purchase office!
