Hardly.
MS Apps are Windows Apps.
That's why Word 6 sucks so much--they went for a common code base.
MS Mac programs are ports of their Windows programs these days, and if they
make you buy Windows then they get the OS sale too. If you already have
Windows you'll just buy the Windows version.
I don't really follow the Mac software market, but what MS apps are
available for the Mac that do not have Windows counterparts?
Ada,
