Sorry, I thought you were just looking for a larger variety of templates.
The difference is not between the mac and pc, but between 07 and every other
version. For all '07 applications they provided fewer "in the box" templates
and themes and provided links to Microsoft instead. If you click the More
button for the themes in '07 you will see:
More themes on microsoft office online
(
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/CT101043291033.aspx)
As well as a browse option to find templates you have stored elsewhere and
an option to save the current theme (an original or modified theme)
This actually gives us more and ever changing options with less hard drive
space being used up with things we never use...
