 Better than its Windows Counterpart October 22, 2002
18 out of 19 found this review helpful
I am forced to use a Windows PC at work and use MS Office every day. I hate this term, but I would fall into the "power user" classification. I have a Mac with OS X at home, and working from home often, I use the OS X version of Office. I can say without hesitation that the OS X version is superior. With this limited space let me just say that there are no issues sharing documents. I am constantly building spreadsheets, powerpoint presentations, and Word docs at home and sending them to colleagues and customers with no issues. They never even know I am on a Mac. The Mac version is more intuitive and looks better as well. If you want a deep discussion of the features, see the details on Apple's web site.
Best Microsoft Product July 30, 2002

It's indeed the best from Microsoft. I only use Word and Entourage and I must say they both are fantastic. Entourage is simply a great software that is clearly better than Outlook for Windows.
 Entirely tolerable :) April 11, 2002

While there is a lot more exciting software out there, something like the Office suite is one of those basic things that makes or breaks a user's experience. The deeper I sink into management, the more time I spend using Word, Excel, and Entourage.
Office v. X really makes that time as pleasant as possible. If you're familiar with the suite of Office products, there's nothing really earth-shatteringly different... between Word, Excel, and Powerpoint, it's more a matter of a bunch of small changes in interface and workflow that make the overall experience better (along with not needing to start up Classic).
On the other hand, Entourage is bittersweet. It's really a fantastic email, calendaring, and contact management piece... it handles time-zones, links contacts, meetings, and email messages, and even lets you automatically color-code messages and events based on who sent them. For our purposes it blows away both Outlook and Notes. At the same time there is an ugly side. You can't sync Entourage to a Palm yet (still under development at this time, but it should be available soon), which is a huge blow to its usability. There are issues with the size of the database it maintains (as well as the fact that it's a self-contained database that's useless to other applications), and it has some glaring issues accessing mail on some IMAP4 servers (Domino, for example).
All in all, it's an excellent package... Microsoft's Macintosh Business Unit does a wonderful job (in my experience, MS Office v. X provides a much better overall user experience than Office XP). Bottom line is that, even while there are still some bugs that really need to be worked out, Office v. X is well worth the cost of the license. Keep up the good work, MBU.
Great Upgrade If You Need It.... January 23, 2002

This is a great upgrade over my previous Word & Excel 98. I got the Word and Excel upgrade, but got Power Point and Entourage (a mail and calendar program) free. But, frankly, I wouldn't upgrade if it weren't for my employer upgrading to Office XP.The programs have crashed a few times, but I recon that's an OS X (10.1.2) problem. Similar problems have happened elsewhere.

As a long-time user of both Windows and Apple software products, I can honestly say that this software package hands down, is the most elegant, intuitive, user-friendly, bug-free piece of software I have ever owned.And for users of both systems, it is a dream to go back and forth between Windows and the Mac. There is no conversions, etc, as in the past, the files just open and work as if the file had been created on the native system. Note that all of the software in this suite - Word, Excel, Powerpoint and especially Entourage (Outlook in Windows) are far superior to the Windows products. And once you start using them, you won't want to go back to the Windows versions. Congrats to the Macintosh team at Microsoft for one of the most refreshing pieces of software in years, and of course congrats to the Apple OS X team that made this possible as well.
