If it wasn't made by Apple, Adobe, MetroWorks, or was installed with  
the previous version of Mac Office, we didn't see it. Oh, except for  
the HR stuff and the bug-tracking system both of which were company- 
wide.

Having said that, I'll point out that the design and dev work on Mac  
Office during my tenure was neither Grand Redesign nor blank-slate  
new design. It was mostly shuffling existing functionality into what  
was hoped would be more usable configurations. The primary tools  
among the design PMs with whom I worked were Photoshop, Word and Excel.
