(Nadyne, I need you to back me up on that one!) I can both verify that folks on our team have written 500+ page documents (there are, after all, multiple PhDs on the team; I'm not the only one who's written a thesis in Word), and I can say that we use our applications extensively as we've been developing them. Personally, I completely stopped using Office 2008 well over a year for all of my work (with the exception of giving external presentations when I couldn't yet disclose anything about Office 2011). Microsoft has a strong culture of "eating your own dogfood", and it's something that me and the rest of MacBU live every day. Regards, Nadyne.
