 Awesome Program April 19, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I just recently converted to a MacBook. I was slightly worried about the Microsoft Office issue...the programs not being the same for each platform. They only program I've used from the suite is Word, and while they are not the same, the Mac version is great! It has most of the features that the PC version has, plus it has this cool template section. I've enjoyed playing around with those. As far as showing someone or proofing a document created on Mac given to someone on a PC, I simply save as a .pdf, which is WAY more easy than the PC Word, which required a plug-in that I could never get to work properly. I love it!

I would recommend the same for any MAC user who needs the basic office applications . The price is just right for three licenses. It does take some getting used to for veteran PC users ( myself included ) but once you get hang of it, it becomes second nature. I honestly don't know why you will need the full version unless you really need the missing applications from the complete suite.
Office 2008 with Leopard 10.5.2 April 18, 2008
10 out of 13 found this review helpful
I installed Office 2008 yesterday on my MacBook, keeping Office 2004 installed in case there were problems. So far all is working well and Word, Excel and Powerpoint files created with Office 2004 open and edit just fine. And I far prefer the user interface.
Reviews prior to mid-March may be overly negative. Update 12.0.1 080305 has been reported to make a big difference in loading speed and stability.
The new file formats of Office 2008 can be a problem for compatibility with other Office users. My first act was to use Preferences to have each program save to Office 2004 file format.
08 OFFICE REVIEW April 16, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Just bought the 08 office for Mac today and it was a let down, because there is no"ACCESS"program for the Mac.
I now have to go out and buy MS office 07 for my wife's computer so I can finish my college computer class.
overall seems to to work very well now that Mac has a new 08 office Mac update that will fix the problems that people are talking about, such as freezes, lock-ups, and so forth. I've had no problems so far with my 08 office Mac, but as soon as you install the new office it will instruct you to look for updates which you will need in order for it to run smoothly. when this laptop gives up the ghost I'm going back to MS system because that is mainly what the colleges are using.
 If using Excel, stick to 2004 April 13, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Allow me to state up front that the only Microsoft application I use is Excel. That said, I've been using Excel for Mac for as long as it's been on the market and use it quite intensely. I had hoped, after so many years of neglect, that it would get a worthy upgrade in 2008 in terms of taking advantage of the Intel processors in the latest Mac models, improvements in functionality, and overall bug fixes. For whatever reason, Excel 2008 fails to deliver on all counts and, in my experience, is a step backwards. Simple charts take an unacceptably long time to display, macros are gone, crashes happen after even the simplest tasks, and there are no discernible usability improvements to make this "upgrade" worthwhile. Perhaps the other Office applications in Office 2008 represent an improvement over their previous versions. Excel, however, does not and has, in fact, proven detrimental to my productivity.
