Haven't tried it yet, but the screen-shots alone look like a big improvement. Good stuff!

Sounds cool, but I don't think I will ever use this.

Anything that makes working with Macs and PCs together easier is a good thing in my book. ^^

I've been using the beta .. I guess for a year! Wow time flies. Anyway, it's been problem free and an improvement on earlier versions for me.

I guess Microsoft increasing their Mac team is really getting a lot of work done....in the last couple weeks we have gotten updates to Office 2004, Office 2008, XML, and Remote Desktop Connection...I'm very impressed with this..mainly because it is Microsoft.

Microsoft is a very capable corporation, even if it doesn't seem like it at times. And contrary to popular belief, the Mac platform is still important to Microsoft, hence why new versions of Office, etc. are still being released.

Excellent news. I've been using the beta for ages now and it's been trouble free whenever I've connected to the work VPN.

Not having to bring my work laptop home every night has been a bonus. :D
