PowerPointless
We have an awesome IT department where I work, but if there's one thing that has them reduced to a gibbering wreck in no time flat, it's when one of us need help with Powerpoint for Mac. Truly, the most infernal piece of crap you ever encountered, and it causes us more problems than you can imagine. And we only use it because our clients use it.

On top of this our clients just got acquired by a larger European company. Our clients use Macs, the Europeans use PCs, nobody wants to compromise, and everything is communicated in PPT.

If only it was a simple as charging them twice for everything - a PC version and a Mac version.

For a while I used an old but brilliant Mac laptop for lectures
and at worked at home on a PC.

Managed pretty well as long as I took precautions like saving documents as rich text.
Whole companies doing all that, though - hmm...

I can't say
I've had any problems with PowerPoint on the Mac, except that TIFF files don't seem to show up on the PC version.

How about the IT dept tell them to fuck the shut up
and get them each an OHP and a fax machine.
