The concern isnt that the typical Macintosh “consumer” customer requires MS Office for digital photography or their iPod.īut home Macs are generally used at least occasionally by someone who has Microsoft Office running on Windows at work. At the time, Apple was in deep financial trouble, and a bailout from Microsoft-of all people-got the company back on its feet. Can the Macintosh survive without Microsoft Office? Its a question that has followed Steve Jobs since his return to Cupertino in 1996.
