Microsoft is run by salesmen. Code that yields bullet points on a box takes priority. Code that just smoothes things out for the user is considered a pointless threat to the bottom line and is therefore deferred indefinitely.

Microsoft Outlook on the Mac (specifically meeting invites) has borked bullet lists repeatedly for me.

Of course, in this case, it's "not Windows" so it must suck worse than the Windows version.

Funny thing is that Excel came out for the Mac first in 1985, and was so popular that they made a version for Windows 2 years later.
