Microsoft plans to offer a modest revision to the Office v.X software suite for Mac OS X this May, as it reiterates its continued support for Apple and Mac OS X, as reported by c|net.

good news
if Microsoft says it's modest, then it REALLY is modest. One old bug less, but 10 new ones added. I'm not holding my breath.
I;'m glad Apple is pressing the Exchange issue - it's very important for corporate Mac users.
As far as IE goes, it's still the best X browser, but others are omcing along and may change that.
So far, Office X has been good, and I expect it to improve with this update.
God people, giv ethe Mac BU the credit it deserves and quit alking outta your collective a$$e$.
The Mac press really did a lackluster job of covering the Microsoft MBU press meeting.
One of the better articles was from PC World. That article revealed this nugget about IE.
Microsoft is also updating its IE browser for the Mac. "It's not the product we want it to be," Browne said. "We want to improve performance, implement a security infrastructure, and implement HTML and XML rendering." Developers are also redesigning the interface.
It's a great browser, and it's free to boot! Great job Microsoft. Bill Gates is a God!
was that message automatically posted by Explorer?
that's pretty crafty there, MS.
Internet Explorer is a great browser.
It is better than Cats.
I will see it again and again.
(Sorry--awkward SNL allusion.)
The article includes this revealing statement about the Office v.X update:
"...the free download will offer more than 1,000 bug fixes..."
And that about sums it up for the quality of Microsoft software. And these are just the 1,000 that they're admitting to or feel like fixing.
Somebody's been doing a little too much Crack.

That's nice but..
That's good but I'd rather see improvements to Internet Explorer in terms of speed, stability, and rendering bugs/delays.
Mind you I guess I can't complain too much, since IE is free.
