Post title: "Here's to the Crazy Ones" - isn't that funny? It appears that the Mac BU is the "crazy one". Gimmie an Outlook for the Mac and bring the Ribbon completely in Office 08!

I for one enjoyed reading your blog "Here's to the Crazy Ones". For those responding critics to this post I share . . .

Quotes from Albert Einstein:

"Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions."

"I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my

imagination. Imagination is more important than

knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."

"Concern for man and his fate must always form the chief interest of all technical endeavors. Never forget this in the midst of your diagrams and equations."

"He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed."

Question:

What is Microsoft doing to better integrate the iPhone into Entourage?

You know, taking a break from coding to remember what's important is very much the Macintosh way.

Thanks, MacBU.

it s good to see that the MacBU are as passionate about apple computers as much of the apple fan-base are. Hopefully they see what we like from macs, and try to implement that in the products they make. I like these posts that show how things really are inside the BU.

Whoa, much negative energy here in the comments. I'll say: Happy anniversary! I'm sure Office 2008 is "thought different" :)

it's good to hear some pleasure coming from your work... and i'm glad everyone's ignoring all the jerks who are nothing more than caustic little children waiting for a new toy to come out.

I for one enjoyed this post. I love Office 2004 for Mac, and I really enjoy the sneak peeks of Office 2008 released so far. This is definitely going to be interesting.

Will you make Office 2008 available for Partners and MSDN? It'll be practical for aiding customers who want macro solutions in AppleScript the sooner we solution providers get to play with it. :)

You are clearly a user and don't have to hear complaints on a daily basis from people asking "why can't my Mac in all it's elegance and brilliance work like my PC friends with outlook?"

Better yet why can't Mojo address it in some way.

@Eponymous Coward:

The reason we are drinking the Haterade is because we are thirsty for an Exchange client that can do some very, very basic things that the Outlook counterpart can do.

It isn't wanting these features for "wanting them" sake--it makes it very difficult when dealing with mixed environments (PC and Mac) to do things as basic as get a meeting set up, properly indicate a meeting resource (a meeting room), attach documents to meetings requests (without sending separate e-mails), etc.

Then showing up to your meeting and asking everyone to refer the the meeting documents... And the familiar refrain begins from the meeting attendees...

"Um, I didn't get any documents. I didn't see them in the meeting request..."

Signed,

On the practical side…here's hoping Office 2008

1. Has a real menu bar in addition to the ribbon.

2. Only uses ONE, not two different pulldown menus in Categories in Entourage. When we click Categories, we want to assign a category to the e-mail or calendar item at hand, not change the default category (have learned to click on the arrow, not the Categories button).

3. Actually shows the keyboard shortcuts in Microsoft Word.

4. Does not change the font size in an Excel worksheet when we inserrt a hyperlink.

5. Makes Command F a Find and Replace command instead of just Find. So we don't hit Command H anymore and shrink the articles. InDesign's text editor does it, and so does TexEdit, so it is not new.

Office 2008 will support keyboard shortcuts, right?

Tiddly stuff, really, but all these tiddly things combined waste billable hours.

Thanks for listening & keep up the good work

Keep up the good work.
