What a rip-off! The US price is $339.99 and the Canadian price is over $600? Why the difference? To make it worse, the Canadian dollar is worth more than the US dollar at this point. Canadians, you are getting ripped off!!!!! I haven't bought it yet because I am trying to figure out if I should pay double for this product.

I like it but it doesn't have the same menus as the PC version and I am having a little trouble finding commands that I want.
 Do you really need MS Office for Mac? November 9, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
So now you have a Mac and face the inevitable MS question-Do I need a Mac version of Microsoft Office?
The issue is made more difficult in that unlike for other versions of Microsoft Office, there is no free trial version of MS Office for Mac.
Since I am reviewing this office suite, you should assume I bought this product. It has Word, Excel and PowerPoint that look and feel just like the PC versions. It does not have Outlook, but offers a program called Entourage which manages mail effectively and even has a rather clunky project management component incorporated in it. If you use Hotmail as your primary email program, entourage will seem a necessity since Microsoft has kept third party mail management programs away from Hotmail. This includes Safari which does not work that well with Hotmail (although Firefox does just fine in web based Hotmail).
There is an alternative Apple iWork '08. iWork '08 reads and writes to Word, Excel and PowerPoint. It has a free trial (60 days) and is much much cheaper, user friendly, and jazzier. As an added bonus, it uses much less real estate on your hard drive. It does not solve the Hotmail problem, but you can by migrating your webmail to gmail, yahoo, or lots of others which the standard Mail program on your Mac supports.
So here is the question, why do you want a Mac office suite that essentially offers no improvement over the PC program other than a mail manager?
