There are quite some functions not possible to be done on SharePoint web interface, most admin works in SharePoint are done either via its web services or the all powerful stsadm.exe console tool.

Apple just launched their range of productivity suite and it glad to see they are compatible with OpenXML out of the box for word processing, spreadsheet and presentation. At the price tag of USD79.00 the pricing is similar to Office 2007 Home & Student Edition. However at USD99 one can license up to 5 of his home’s Macs and that make it the cheapest OpenXML client. Problem is with a high price tag on Mac hardwares… how many people out there got 5 of them? Unless people been keeping a Mac collection at home.
