I have to wonder. Could this be the end of the line for Office for the Mac?
Maybe the argument from MS will be that if you have a Windows 2000 server
and the Windows version of Office, all you need is the RDP client for the
MAC. It would certainly be a whole lot cheaper to develop and maintain a Mac
RDP client that it would be to continue to enhance a port of Office for the
Mac.
