 A must if you own a mac November 30, 2008
Have some people been using a different version of this software from me? (or trying to run it on OS9 maybe?)
It's not perfect (lack of VBA support, lack of advanced features in Excel, slow to start up, not fully compatible with spaces), but I think it's quite good and definitely worthy of four stars (I'm running the latest update 12.1.4 at the time of writing).
iWork '08 is not a good idea, as although Apple say it's compatible with the word and excel formats, it doesn't display the advanced formatting in these files properly. The only serious competition Office 2008 has is OpenOffice 3.0 (which now runs natively on the mac).
 Constantly crashes November 29, 2008
It constantly crashes in Word, Excel & Powerpoint. In Powerpoint I could not even open the drawing toolbar without it crashing even with all the patches. You cannot run macros with this software either.
It's useful to view documents if you are using a PC and a Mac but not for any serious editing.
 surprisingly good November 28, 2008
i've just made the move from pc to mac. my only big concern was compatibility, but i am happy to say that i have been surprised at how easy and compatible my mac and its software have proved. this is largely due to this product, office 08 for mac. a different interface from the pc 2007 version i also use, which adds 5 mins per piece of work the first few times you use it. But pretty soon, its just as usable, and has opened up all my previous pc based work to my new mac world... i am a very happy customer/ user!
 Blah. November 17, 2008

Office 2008 is ok. The interface is normal. It doesn't crash all that much. It is quite compatible. Its all right. Blah.
If only Microsoft hadn't lost their nerve and made something as lovely as the PC Office 2007. I'm a dual user and find myself drifting back to my PC when I want to do anything work related. And that is a shame. It's just like the old days - Mac for media fun and PC for serious work and gaming. Some things never change. Not much point upgrading from 2004.
Ideal for creating windows compatible documents... November 11, 2008

I am by no means a computer genius but talking from a novice point of view I have to say that after purchasing this product 3 months ago I have been perfectly happy with it. I previously had the office 2004 for MAC which admittedly was perhaps a little more user friendly and generally straight forward, but decided to upgrade to the new Office 2008 when I purchased a new iMac.
I generally only use Word and Excel, occasionally Powerpoint, and they serve the purpose that they are there for. After a little bit of getting used to, I've figured most things out, although creating web pages with the Word is not as simple as it was with 2004, and would happily recommend it to a friend. I am currently using it with Leopard operating system.
If you simply want to be able to create Windows compatible documents then this pack should give you everything you need. I use mine for writing word documents and creating spreadsheets and transferring these between my Windows based PC at work and my iMac at home. For this everything serves the purpose well.
