 Powerful but slow April 8, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I updated to Microsoft Office 2008 from M.O. 2004 because I purchased a new, Intel-based, Leopard-running, 2.6 GHz MacBook Pro and thought M.O. 2008 would be faster than what I had. The software has all the features of the 2004 version plus a few features I'll probably not use but I was disappointed by the amount of time it takes for the various programs to load. For instance, from the time I click on the Word icon in the dock until a blank document opens takes about 13 seconds. Word 2004 on my 1 Ghz Titanium G4 PowerBook only took about 5 seconds.
Other than that, I like the fact that the applications work very much like the previous versions so there is very little required learning curve.
 corrupts fonts and no unstall option April 1, 2008

I really wish I had never bought this. What a nightmare. Typical Microsoft. They replaced standard fonts with their own version of standard fonts which of course caused text in all OTHER applications to look horrible. I had to go back and find the original version of these fonts and replace them by hand. And there's no way to uninstall it. Oh, and Excel files created with this can't be read by people without Office 2008 (at least not without some digging), which is pretty obnoxious. I would wait a year for them to issue a dozen patches before jumping at this.

there is always built in the obsolence factor. When I save in the new format no one can open documents I email. I have to save in the older version to send. It did however stop crash problems that emerged with the earlier word when I upgraded to the latest Mac OS 10 system
 iWork clone March 5, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
MS Office 2008 takes some needed cues from iWork, which results in a pretty decent, sorely needed upgrade. All in all not bad (considering its predecessor), but if you have iWork, there's no need to get this. In fact, if you don't have iWork, save yourself $300 and buy it instead. The only reason I purchased MS 2008 was because the Expression Media software is actually quite handy, and is perfect for one particular project I'm working.
Otherwise - iWork will do it.
NO VBA!!!!!!!!!!! January 20, 2008

Apparently Bill Gates thinks we haven't suffered enough. Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) has been completely removed from the latest version of Office for the Mac. Unfortunately, I found this out AFTER wasting my money on this useless new product. DON'T BUY IT!!!!!!!
