Observer Comments
Jeff, I am just not seeing it. The links you included in the article point to the 12.0.1 update for Office 2008 which was released 2 months ago. MS AutoUpdate also sees nothing new. Am I missing something? I'd love an update that makes this Intel native POS run as well ass 2004 under Rosetta.
