I think they could neatly solve the Developer problem if they could make it so apps developed for the Google OS also run on other browsers. If the programming language is JavaScript, or its next more robust iteration, and browsers have Gears and other more powerful client-side hooks, they would have an easy to program, powerful platform with virtually universal reach.

Whatever they do in Office 2010, they must bring back Visual Basic for Applications as they've promised. MathType users want their equation numbering back, among other things. And Excel users really miss it.

The removal of VBA from Mac Office is creating great pains for the users of our product, MathType. It contains VBA macros for equation numbering and other commands we now can no longer support in Office 2008. Microsoft justifies this by saying that it is hard to port the VBA engine to Intel Macs. This is hard to believe since Windows VBA is obviously running on Intel. It just has to be a marketing move to keep the Mac down, IMHO.
