No VBA in Office

[David Cake]

	So, Visual Basic for Applications was cut from the next 
version of Office way back in August, and it was hardly even 
mentioned here (only in passing a couple of times)
	So, I gather people here don't actually care much?
	Anyway, just was pointed to an interesting technical 
discussion here about why
http://www.schwieb.com/blog/2006/08/08/saying-goodbye-to-visual-basic
	The summary, for the non-programmers amongst us, being that 
the MacBU dropped it because it was Too Hard, and from that they 
describe, it certainly sounds as if it would have been not 
impossible, but really very difficult. Rather, its fairly astonishing 
that VBA worked usably in the first place, and if thats typical of 
Microsoft application design, its a no wonder that things like 
processor changes seem much bigger obstacles for them than for most 
app vendors (Adobe excepted).
	Cheers
