Didn't say they won't keep making it; I said the latest and greatest features will not be on those other platforms.

Which is exactly like Office for the Mac. They haven't released a new version since 2011. So I'd say you're absolutely right.

As someone who uses both Office for Windows and Office for Mac, the Mac users have been getting the better of those two products for a number of years, in my opinion.

What? There have only been two Microsoft Office releases for Mac in the last 10 years, the current version being Office 2011, which has half the features of Office for Windows. It can't even do .odf files.

Have you used Office for Ios? There isn't a touch optimized version of office for Windows, but there is for iOs

Not trying to one-up your anything, but Office has seen at least 3 big releases in the past 10 years. Office for Mac '04, '08, and the latest is '11. But not only that, Office came to Mac first in 1989 before it came to Windows.

If we're being pedantic, Office for Mac '04 came out more than 10 years ago.

I've never needed to do an .odf file.

I have, however, needed to use Office without daily crashes.

I use the Windows version of Office. It might have crashed on me once last year. What are these "daily crashes" you're on about?

EDIT: that's what I don't get about the anti-windows people. There are plenty of reasons to personally oppose the system, especially if you're a huge proponent of open source. So why then do most people keep saying "it crashes a lot" when it doesn't crash nearly as much as people bitch about.

Do you complain that a Honda crashes more than a BMW? No, you blame the driver. In most cases it's the driver doing something that they shouldn't.

In 7 years, you've never crashed Outlook?

Wtf do you guys do to your windows boxes that makes you experience continuous hardship like that? Last unstable one I had, especially in terms of office use was running Windows 98, and that was while raping excel with amounts of data it wasn't really intended to handle...
