After working with PCs for over 10 years I made a recent switch to Mac and purchased the Home & Student edition of MS Office. I'm still new at using it, but I have found it easy to install and easy to use.
 Crashy and Slow on PowerMac G5 April 3, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
My experience with this software has been pretty annoying. I have a Dual 2.7 GHz G5 PowerMac w/ 6GB of RAM. The previous version, Office 2004 was problematic for me, as Entourage would often crash, even if my machine was idle! I've noticed almost no improvement in performance with 2008. And my Entourage mail rules are now completely broken unless applied manually.
On top of that, launch times for Entourage are now about 3 times slower than in Office 2004, and I even took pains to delete tens of thousands of messages from my mail database. In addition, I've had problems with Entourage and Excel stalling my entire machine upon program launch (usually during the "Optimizing Font Menu Performance" stage - and I do have a ton of fonts activated for my graphics work). This problem usually requires a force-restart.
The software itself is fine, but not really much different than Office 2004, except for some minor aesthetic upgrades, some of which don't look all that great anyway.
To be fair, I also have this software installed on my Intel MacPro, and it launches and runs very responsively on that machine.
Let's hope MS fixes these issues... this software feels very much like it was rushed to market 6 months too early.

Finally a version that doesn't crash x times a day. I was using 2004 before. This is a must have upgrade. Also must better screen layout and easier to work with.
 Need DVD Player March 31, 2008

I am very disappointed and will need to return. I thought the application was on a CD and it turned out to be a DVD which I can't use on my laptop.
