Microsoft "Microsoft Office isn't among the apps that will run natively on Intel-based Macs - and it won't be until the latter half of 2007, according to media reports. But when it does ship, Office will apparently be missing a feature so vital to cross-platform compatibility that I believe it will be the beginning of the end for the Mac version of the productivity suite."

Whatever happend to native Koffice for MacOS-X?

Seems there was a lot of discussion about this in 2004/2005, then it seems the idea was dropped. I know that KOffice uses ODF as it's default format.

KDE 4 is a major rewrite, and it is apparently possible to run KDE apps natively on Windows. I have not heard about this for OSX, but it certainly is possible. However, KDE 4 seems to be quite a ways away.
