Macintosh Office:mac 2001

This month Microsoft’s latest incarnation of Office hits the store shelves, but don’t get too excited it’s gonna be for Macintosh. Office:mac 2001 as it has been rebranded, repackaged, and updated with new Mac-only features, it's designed specifically for anyone with a PowerPC-enabled Mac.

"Mac users are unique users," explains Microsoft Group Product Manager Mary Rose Becker “They want things to act differently, feel differently and look differently.

She continues: "We had three design goals in mind: the ability to simplify different tasks with the project gallery; taking control of information with Entourage; and a Mac-like interface with the ability to integrate with other applications like FileMaker."
