>>Despite what people claim about Microsoft apps dominating on the Mac, >>the simple fact is that MS would make more $$$ if they could convince >>Mac users to use the same MS apps under MeSs-Windows. And every little >>slowdown will convert a few people. Like Excel's macro evaluation speed on the Mac? (a p-code emulator in a Mac app? — I called MS on that issue last year and they grudgingly admitted that the Mac versions macro evaluator was not native Mac code.) >>I really hate the idea of being totally dependent upon a Microsoft tool >>to develop a mac app. What happens if they're slow to implement new >>versions as the mac evolves? What if they never implement something? Mac apps made via that platform won't be scriptable, eh? I gathered that from earlier msgs, even with extensive #ifdef-ing the code won't be structured/factored to support it. And that knocks voice control out of the running, right? I understood that scripting is used to enable that. * * * * * * * * * * ** * * * * * * Y A H O O ! P O W E R P C T O D A Y ! ! ! Al;
