Thanks, Wilson.  :-)

I listened to Steve Jobs' presentation, as well as the brief talk by
the woman who heads Microsoft's Apple team; and I seem to recall her
saying that MS would have something ready for the new MacBook Pros in
a month or so.  If that is the case, I assume it will be the next
version of Office/Word, which would be well ahead of any 2007
schedule.
