The Office X apps are fully Carbonized (that is, they've been ported to OS X from an older version of the Mac OS), but unlike most Carbon apps, they don't run in Mac OS 9. Fortunately for Apple, Office X ships with a well-conceived and well-implemented collection of Mac OS X applications that make the most of OS X's new Aqua interface and features.
And whether you like it or not, Microsoft Office is about as mainstream as it gets. It doesn't matter how great an operating system is, it isn't useful to most people unless it can run mainstream business software. No application is more important to the fate of Mac OS X than Microsoft Office. Microsoft will not ship this update on Office X CDs.(Updated 6/11/02) Be sure to download the free Service Release 1, however, for snappier performance and bug fixes. But if you've been waiting for top-notch, Mac-specific business programs before switching to OS X, Office X is for you. We have updated this review to reflect changes made in the service release. On June 3, Microsoft released an Office X update called Office X Service Release 1.
