More compatible that Microsoft?

[Charles Dyer]

If this <http://www.pcpro.co.uk/macuser/news/99746/leopard-unlocks- 
office-2007.html> is true, it appears that Apple software (apparently  
TextEdit) will be able to read MS Office 2007 files before Microsoft  
Office for Mac.

One wonders if Pages and Keynote will also read Office 2007. One  
further wonders if Apple will finally release a spreadsheet as part  
of iWork 07, and if that will read Excel 2007 files. If one wanted to  
be sarky (who, me?) one might wonder if FileMaker will read Access  
2007 files. One might also wonder if Apple might release iWork 07  
Pro, bundling iWork 07 (with, please, a spreadsheet) and FileMaker.  
If there's a spreadsheet in iWork 07 I'll buy it. If FileMaker, or at  
least some kind of reasonable database system, is bundled in, the  
sonic bang you hear will be me getting out my _corporate_ credit  
card, and not just my personal card.
