From MacWeek, 3/28/94, pg 32,
USERS DEMAND POWER MAC SOFTWARE, by Lisa Picarille 

"... But it's Macintosh heavyweight Microsoft Corp. that users are waiting
for.  The Redmond, Wash., software giant won't deliver its family of Power
mac products until this summer.  Prior to shipping Power Mac version of
Excel, Word, Office, Works, PowerPoint, and FoxPro, Microsoft must first
get upgraded 680x0 versions of those products out the door, according to
Rene Wateremez-Harbors, a Mac product manager for Microsoft.
     Sources close to the company said the updated 680x0 versions of those
producrts have still not gone into beta testing."
