Originally posted by DaveB View PostHmm, because MS would never prioritise development and performance of the Windows version of it's products over those for other operating systems, would they?
a)90%+ of users use the Windows version so of COURSE you prioritise it
b)Their developers know much more about Windows development than OSX

Excel started within three or so dock bounces (a second or so) and showed its splash screen for maybe a second, then auto-opened the last spreadsheet viewed, which happened to be SJD's spreadsheet. It then showed me the "Enable macros?" dialog which Microsoft use to cover their arses if I suffer at the hands of a number of terrible technical decisions they made in the early 90s, proving that it was fully up and running. No beachball at any time.
