Last week Infoworld and PC world both mentioned the windows version of
WP. I don't remember ship dates, though. It looks somewhat like W4W,
and I believe it also ships with a file manager. I'm a diehard W4W
person myself. I also use Macs a lot, and the combination of MacWord
and W4W is pretty good. I still have problems with binary
compatibility and wish that the graphics would go across, but can work
around most problems. 

As an aside, excel uses the same files for windows and the mac, and
transfer across is easy as pie...
