Several anonymous readers noted that the mac rumor mill is churning already with news for the upcoming MacWorld. The current rumor is a new office suite to replace the incredibly dated AppleWorks and incredibly bloated and slow MS Office.

>It is amazing when its Apple but evil when its Microsoft?

yes. there's a difference between Apple "integrating" things and Microsoft "just locking everyone else out".

Re:Who really cares?

Windows 2000 crashed on occaison when I used faulty programs. Windows XP hasn't crashed since uhm, I dunno. Windows XP is pretty solid. As for viruses, security in numbers son. OSX is minute, a small player, teeny tiny. You don't see people trying to find and do something about exploits in Opera or Konqueror, because no one cares. And protecting your self from viruses on your PC is simple enough for a monkey to do. I've been using Outlook since v97. I got infected once by an email virus, because of my own stupidity.

My machine works, it works like a charm. I bet it works better than any mac of equal hardware strength.

And, well, Avid > FCP...

Go for it, you and the other 3% of the market your OS X using brethren represent go out there and kick MS Office's ass, without using an iPod.

Better technology does not equal market success, fanboy.
