Which is more likely: A) that Microsoft had a huge, coordinated anti-Apple conspiracy, or B) that the MacOffice team -- a separate team from the rest of Office located in the valley -- just decided to do their own thing rather than trying to port over decades-old Outlook to OSX?


Links to this article, which says that VBA (Visual Basic for Applications -- the scripting language used within Office) support is returning.

I was just commenting on its absence the other day, in helping a friend with their transition to Mac.
