I'm curious as to what hacks these were? I can remember when Microsoft decided to port some of the underpinnings of early versions of Windows to the Mac so they could run a unified code base for Word 6 on the Mac and on Windows, but they had to abandon that effort almost immediately as it was bloated, too slow, and didn't use the native UI. >Mac Word 6.0 was a crappy product. And, we spent some time trying to figure out how not to do that again. In the process, we learned a few things, not the least of which was the meaning of the term “Mac-like.” https://web.archive.org/web/20040514091238/http://blogs.msdn.com/rick_schaut/archive/2004/02/26/80193.aspx https://web.archive.org/web/20040514091238/http://blogs.msdn... That's the only time I can remember them doing something unique that other vendors weren't also doing.
