Be fair

So, it's mainly third party software you have problems with (I know, most of what you want to use is third party).

I, too, don't understand the vast difference between Office:Mac and Office:PC but, like Entourage, it's Microsoft that's to blame - they write the software. I especially don't like the lack of sortcuts (Alt-I R to insert a row would be useful, for instance).

Office:Mac (ok, I have an older version) also doesn't respect Command-Tilda to change windows within an application. The next window is brought to the front, but the focus remains with the previous window.
