Visio!!!!!!

Well since I have been afforded the opportunity to discuss Visio this week I think I will talk about how Microsoft needs to wakeup and smell the coffee.  They are totally screweing themselves because they have not been able to make this available for the MAC as of yet.  Office has been out for MAC for almost 5 years and I think that this is one of the programs that they need to concentrate making it available.  I am able to get my work done because I spent 200.00 on a MAC specific program that will open Visio files and also allow you to edit them and let you save them as that file type as well.  It also allows you to save the file as other types such a PDF and JPEG file.  This kind of helps out, but it stinks that I have to pay an extra cost for these features when I should be able to get Visio from MSDNAA.  I would pay the reduced fee that they charge for other programs, but this is just ridiculous.  It has all of the same features as well, but this is not the point.  All MAC users have the same problems with the same programs and you should not have to install a version of windows on your computer or be expected to buy another expensive program that is MAC only.  I would like to see Microsoft make Office Project and Visio available on the MAC within the next year.  I know the capability is out there of other vendors would not be copying Microsoft and stealing their money that they could be making.
