System-wide Dictionary/Thesaurus - I agree entirely. I really don't know what you're getting at here!ĥ. Palette - seems OK to me in all respects. I think your point about the floppy icon is likely to cause many people to discount your article because it is just TOO anally retentive. However I can't do this while I have to have both iWork and Office versions of files on my Mac, so I will definitely be buying Office when it comes out, and iWork will sit on my system not being used, irrespective of its (many) merits.ģ. Provides the basics of Office 2008 for Mac for home users and students. Otherwise I don't know why they haven't pursued this approach, as I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to be able to junk Office altogether. I assume that the reason Apple have shied away from making it possible to use iWork as an Office alternative (in particular, by not providing an option to use Office file formats as defaults) is so that Microsoft don't finally walk away from the Mac, although I don't think this really makes sense as an excuse. Pacifist is a powerful multi-tool for working with macOS package files, disk images, and file archives. In other respects I think the MacBU have done an excellent job of the toolbars and I am sure that this UI has the potential to add to the attraction of the Mac for the many people I know who hate the Office 2007 UI for my reasons and the reasons elucidated in your article.Ģ.

In this way I think Microsoft have lost sight of what the product is actually for. It seems like a very programmer-oriented approach to focus more on the UI than on the reason for using it. Microsoft first released Entourage in October 2000 as part of the Microsoft Office 2001 office suite Office 98, the previous version of Microsoft Office for the classic Mac OS included Outlook Express 5. The gallery - the main reason I dislike this is that it drastically reduces the screen real estate available for editing the material being produced, which surely should be the primary purpose of any software. Microsoft Entourage is a discontinued e-mail client and personal information manager that was developed by Microsoft for Mac OS 8.5 and later. But I do think it is always very important to maintain a degree of measure.ġ. Please try and find something positive to say in the next article in the series to balance this up! I hasten to say that I have no connection whatsoever to Microsoft and dislike them intensely as a company. Throughout the piece your comments are couched in a critical style, which I don't feel is entirely justified by the reality of what I have seen of Office 2008. Although I do think you make some very valid points, in general I feel that your review comes over as a bit mean-minded.
