Bye-Bye Mac Business Unit?

The need for Office has more to do with consumer expectations than what many actually need... It's a security blanket more than anything else. The biggest question I get asked when anyone talks about possibly switching is what they do with their old files.

They want to know that they can see that stupid Powerpoint joke that someone has sent them through on email and not be left out of the loop.

Or know that if they want to work at home on something, they can safely send something through in Excel/Word and re-open it when they get back to the office.

You are absolutely right. I was reluctant to move to Pages, but after trying it, I ended up buying it and it's all I use now - and it exports perfectly to Word for all my stupid PC clients. If Apple comes out with a spreadsheet app, I am all set.
