Apple's Rumored Office Suite

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.

Nothing for you to see here. Please move along.

New name for the Apple Office Suite: Apple Specter?

Anyways, a new office app would be greatly appreciated in the mac environment...

Maybe they'll finally make Mac OS X native OpenOffice.org? That'd be nice.

>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".

3.6 GHz Pentium 4 with 3 GB RAM

... and still not beefy enough to run TuxRacer at full FPS.

Who really cares?

Lets face it, it'd be ridiculous to say that MS Office is a bad product. Infact, its probally the best product (or group of products?) MS has ever made. Even Access has uses in the desktop publishing world. MS Office is FAR from bloated. It just contains every tool anyone anywhere could ever possibly need in any scenario whatsoever.

This is just going to be another lame attempt by apple to reinvent the wheel, and every time Apple tried to reinvent the wheel, it fails. I'm beginning to question why Apple is in the computer business at all. PCs, in every way, are superior. They are faster, stronger, and cheaper. The whole "Apple is better for media" is no longer applicable becaue it was only applicable when Apple computers were faster than PCs, which they are not anymore. Don't fall for marketing gimmicks like OSX. OSX only uses Unix because Steve Jobs knows that there are enough anti microsoft extremists out there to sustain his company. Apple should stick to doing what it does best: making nifty gadgets like iPod. Infact, I bet that if people at Apple put their heads together, they could make a great competitor to Sony's PSP.

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...

this is alashdot where any bashing on MS gets your story posted and any basing is posts gets you points.

The MS haters know that MS continues to kick their butts, so they resort to lying - like calling MS Office bloated and slow.

Anyone download OpenOffice lately? It is huge.

They should just steal some more code

[Democritus2]

Fresh off of Darwin, they can just find some more code to steal cant they? Find some BSD license code and then give nothing back to the community. Come on Apple I know you can do it again.

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.
