Actually, ever since MS were caught red-handed stealing QuickTime code (circa 1997) they have had a devoted, specific Mac development team that has been remarkably good at creating MS Office using Apple GUI protocols. In many ways this has meant that Office for Mac has been BETTER than the version for Windows. So give them that credit. Meanwhile, as a consistent MS user since 1988, I can verify that their software for PC (versus Mac) is indeed rather sucky. Currently I am a board member of the excellent local PC user's group (versus Mac user group). Surprisingly I can verify that the favorite conversation within the group is how much Microsoft sucks. I very rarely hear any 'Apple sucks' comments. Amusing, eh? (BTW: while I am within the group I remain neutral. Very challenging but good for my diplomacy skills).

I know two years ago their "hardware group" contained a good number of researchers and several industrial designers and engineers.

The combination of updates to the ipod line, the added video feature to the nano, and the courage of apple to NOT release video in the touch until they get it perfect (the antithesis of MSFT philosophy), and then the great new features and functions of iTunes 9 continue to make Apple the hands down winner in this space.
