I guess that makes sense from a naming standpoint. It also makes sense from Microsoft’s unstated Mac business practices which is to release substandard products in an untimely fashion on the Mac platform. As stated before, there is an obvious bias on Microsoft’s part in terms of giving the Mac platform full products.
The resignation of Roz Ho as General Manager of the Macintosh Business Unit before WWDC 2007 should have been a premonition of Microsoft’s incredibly poor showing at the event (either that or she knew how painfully lame it was going to be). It had been speculated that Redmond would announce the distribution of the new 2008 version of its market dominating Office suite at the event. But Microsoft had nothing to announce. Is this a sign of things to come? When will it get released and will Office 2008 be the last upgrade to Office that the Mac sees? Are Bill and Steve not getting along as well as they appear to be with Walt Mossberg?
