Microsoft hired a bunch of Apple engineers, years ago, and gave them their own unit and freedom to operate.
How much freedom can they have when they have to maintain compatibility with Orifice for Windoze? I'm assuming that's a big part of why the apps are so painfully clunky. I lose my temper every time I have to use Word or PeePoint. I want to just beat the living crap out of all those responsiible for the UI.
And how can PeePoint STILL be inferior to Persuasion in most ways (possibly in every way), given that development on Persuasion stopped in the mid- or late 90s?
