3:21 AM EST 		This is a mind-numbingly horrible feature. An un-Mac'ishly crude construction.

If they "always say" it they apparently don't do it on the web.

I'd prefer OOo on the Mac to MS Office.

Seriously, I can't stand it and everybody seems to think it's the best thing ever.

But, I don't own a Mac right now and I use gnome. I like the ideas the gnome developers borrowed from OS X.
