Microsoft gets cozier with Mac OS X
PC World | at | by Mike
Microsoft is taking more aggressive steps to promote its desktop office productivity software to users of Apple Computer's Mac OS X. The company announced here Tuesday at the Macworld Conference and Expo two promotional offers intended to make Office v. X for Mac appealing to Apple customers. The Redmond, Washington, software maker said it has signed a deal with Apple to install a 30-day trial version of Office v. X for Mac on all new Macintosh computers. That trial software, known as Office Test Drive, is a full-function version of Microsoft's productivity software but lacks the ability to print documents.
