Differing working groups.
Apparently, the Mac programmers are housed with the same guys that do the XBox and Wince...err...WinCE and all those non-Windows folks. Most of their implementations are not code for code trades with the other departments...though the Office department generally gets looks at as the R&D for the Windows side. Untill a few revisions back, ALL the new features came out on the Mac first and then ported to Windows. With OfficeX, its starting to do the same once again (check out the charting features under Excel for a prime example of this).
Anywho, this wouldn't be SUCH a problem if things like Todays Active Topics and the other postings would actually use the anchors assigned to them so that it goes directly to the correct page AND the last posting when you click on it. I really don't want to be taken to the first of eight pages when I've been reading this thread for a week. I want to be taken to the latest ones for relevance.
If this were to happen, I wouldn't even notice the lots of empty space at the bottom, because I wouldn't have to go to the page, hit End and then scroll up a dozen pages when I'm on my iBook <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
