It includes tools for word processing, spreadsheet, presentations, relational database development, equation editing, charting and drawing.

MacOffice Professional is available on DVD ROM at the Mac Office Web site, and is priced at US$47.95.

I've been looking at some of the screen shots on their web site. Is that or is that not just OpenOffice?
