VBA will be back for Mac Office!

Ok, those of you that know me know that I'm not a huge Mac/Apple fan. I'm not really much against them, though I don't like the 'anti-pc' tone of their commercials versus a traditional 'pro-mac' commercial. Regardless, being a huge Excel and VBA fan, I felt bad for the many mac users that bought Office 2008 only to find out VBA was gone. Now I know the reasons behind it, so I'm not going to whinge about it, but it still sucked. That move alone would have prompted me to leave my mac in the dust (if I had one), despite it being a decision on Microsoft's part rather than Apple's.

So I was very happy to read today that VBA will be back in the next version of Mac Office! The press release is really about the release of SP1, but said MS will be bringing VBA back at a yet-unspecified future date. Score one for the good guys!

Go VBA!
