If you are over at Mac Office maybe you can get them to talk to
Windows Office developers. Many of us would be infinitely grateful if
you could encourage the implementation of inserting QT movies in
Windows Powerpoint, as we used to be able to do. I can't even insert
an MPEG1 movie reliably any more, which used to be my only "cross-
platform" trick.
So, things have really gone backwards in this respect.
As Quid Pro Quo, you could enable the insertion of WMV in Mac
PowerPoint. (but hey, not one without the other!)
It's almost impossible to create cross-platform (PC/Mac) Powerpoint
presentations with video, without some convoluted trick.
Not sure how this incompatibility is helping anyone, even Microsoft.
Anyhow, if you can put in a word for this feature, it would be really
appreciated.

Frank,
It's slower than I like, but we're getting back to a good Mac
story for Windows Media.
For what it's worth, us video guys aren't even part of Windows
anymore. We're over with the Xbox and Mac Office folks now.
