In my experience, the people buying Office for mac care most about seamless interoperating with all the people who insist on using Office to for all their business needs.

And you don't think a consistent interface is part of that seamlessness?

Anyway, at least in 2011 it failed in that metric too, because documents would look quite different on the Mac version than on the Windows version in many cases.

What I really wanted, at the time, was the exact same experience on both platforms, from feature set, to way of use, to the look of documents rendered, and since it didn't really deliver that I was disappointed.

No, not at all. I don't care that my UI is consistent with yours. I care that you can open the doc I sent you.
