 Microsoft Office 2008 for MAC May 27, 2008

It is all I expected. I have been very satisfied with the program and would recommend it to any MAC user. The Power Point application is excellent and works well with MAC and I am very pleased.

Unrevolutionary upgrade May 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've been using this version of Office for almost half a year now, and there are still many times when I'm dissatisfied with it. I've used Office on Windows for years (up to version 2003, still can't warm up to 2007) and when I migrated to Mac a few years ago, I of course had version 2003.
My biggest impetus for upgrading was to be the performance improvement by making it a Universal Binary/Intel native piece of software. I was sort of wrong as the apps don't seem that much faster or improved, in fact, sometimes even crash more than the previous version of Office for Mac, most notably in Excel.
I'm not a heavy user of any office apps, but do need to constantly use the apps to share files with others. Excel and Word are my strongest points, and the former definitely lacks features compared to the Windows version. Microsoft is simply trying to make the product Mac pretty more than "office" pretty. I am glad they didn't use the ribbon from Office 2007 on the Macs, but that also basically means they didn't add a whole lot new features from Office 2003 either. In fact, many will complain about the lost feature of Visual Basic support.
I've recently installed the recent Service Pack 1 and hoping it resolves many of the stability issues I've seen. I don't ever expect this to be a revolutionary product, however.
So far so good May 25, 2008

We have downloaded part of this on one computer so far and it has been a lifesaver as far as doing word documents.
 If you can avoid getting it, don't get this! May 22, 2008

I own a MacBook and needed a word processor that is compatible with Office 2007 for Windows. So, I purchased this thinking that this should be better than Office 2004 Mac version since this is native to Intel Mac. Yeah, right. It has been buggy and crashing left and right. The loading time is terrible. If you have to get a word processor that is compatible with other versions of office, you don't have any other choice yet. But if you don't have to get this product, just avoid this product at all cost.
