Full FeedBalmer: Macs “... don’t really get full Microsoft Office.”
Steve Ballmer runs the world’s largest software company. They make the world’s most-used operating system, and the most-used office productivity software. His job is to sell more of this software. And he would like you to know that the Mac version of the software his company sells, well, it more or less stinks:
“You know, anyway—can you find the applications you want on the Mac? Well, you don’t really get full Microsoft Office.”
Now, I realize that not only does Mr. Ballmer have to trash the Mac, it’s pretty obvious he enjoys doing it, too. But the man just doesn’t think sometimes, because Office:mac is a product that Microsoft makes. To sell for money. To sell to people who aren’t normally buying their product.
There’s more trashing of the Mac to read. I could summarize, but allow me simply to point out that the man in charge of Microsoft should really know the difference between a “mouse” and a “trackpad.”

Well, he’s right. There are many features on Windows Office that are not available on Mac Office. For this very reason, I do not use it. For example, I need right-to-left text for writing Semitic languages. Windows Office does this well, but Mac Office does not.
