So many people are saying that Micro$oft's presence on the Mac is
important for the survival of the Mac, but I am wondering...

1) M$ is being sensitive to the needs of old Mac OS (8-9) users.
The problem is that the old Finder on old Mac OS only supports

Good morning, I find the spelling of Microsoft with a $ to be
completely disingenuous..if you had been smart enough to buy, steal
or create DOS you would be rich too. Do you believe Apple products are

Mac user since 1985
I've used Office on new machines and old machines and never had a
single problem. We've got it loaded on 30 eMacs here at the school I
work for and all of them run flawlessly. The PC's with office and win98
lock up all the time, but the Macs run fine. Office 2001 runs great too
on classic. I
Right on, when was the last time Apple gave something similar to
Microsoft's TS2 seminars. They teach you how to use their products and
then give you a free copy. Not every TS2 is the same, but since I

hey, I just checked out their website and must retot my previous
argument. They do have some cool seminars, a mac OS X server seminar
would be nice, but I can live with iMovie and iDVD guide. Plus multiple
others. I live near Denver, so that is what I checked out. I plan on
attending one

They just used the older Carbon API to do a quick,
straight port without bothering using the new calls
to support more than 31 characters...
