Domain Name Com's - Software : Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac

- Don't upgrade!
Excel in MS2008 for Mac out and out sucks. It can't handle spreadsheets of a few hundred records without hanging repeatedly on my G4 notebook with 2 MB RAM and nothing else running. Then it has a totally useless automatic function that insists on trying to open the file on which it crashed, and of course, most of the time it hangs and you can't do anything until you change the name of the file so it can't find it. It does work on my Quad desktop with 4 MB RAM. Even then the software is so bloated that everything runs like frozen molasses. Word is not hanging on me but also has gone beyond becoming bloatware. The only reason I use it is because my workplace requires me to use Entourage and the rest of this bloatware.
Wish I had read reviews before upgrading!

- It's a TROJAN horse with criminal intent
Having this product (if one can call this terrible horror-show a product) already installed on my new iMac caused it to crash / freeze every 5-10 minutes. It took me a couple of hours to understand the issue is not the iMac but this trojan horse called Office 2008 for Mac.
Uninstalled it - and there went all my problems, the famous beach ball (blue screen of death for macs) and the like.
I wonder when will one of the Microsofties come out of their holes and let the public know the truth: that they are selling products for macs with a criminal intent - to crash them....What other explanation could be true ? Not enough testing ? Oh, come on....
If I could give this terrible thing only ZERO stars...

- If you want your boss to laugh at your work, then use this "product!"
This one's unreliable and buggy. I have had spacing problems when Windows Microsoft Office 2007 users open my documents. In my opinion, it's lame, just like Windows Vista!

- Worst Microsoft product ever.
I gave this one star because Amazon does not let you give zero.

Can a product be so bad I will uninstall and go back to the clunky buggy Mac Office 2004? I think so. Also, do not do what I did and let the installation program convince you to remove all prior versions: now I not only have to go back and reinstall the old program, but all updates too.

2008 was supposed to be faster and fix all the bugs from 2004. And I believed them. It fixed one print bug and added many new bugs. One delightful one: parts of text disappear in normal and preview, but reappear when you highlight the section. It seems that the text is there, you just can't see it. Plus, print view is screwed up. They arbitrarily reassigned the locations of several menu items, usually moving to another area and then to a new submenu. LOTS of new submenus. Stunningly, they no longer found space for RECENT in the main FILE menu, Now, to find your list of recent documents, you have to do to the FIle menu, then to a new submenu for recent documents.

Oh, and it is slower than ever, Universal Binary code notwithstanding.

Apart from the bugs and clunkiness, it seems that every single change they made makes the program less suitable to the way I use a word processing program. If my clients did not use MS, I would go to Mac "Pages" and never look back.

I won't even comment on the problems of going back and forth between the .doc format and the new .docx format. I am sure others have addressed that joy.

One amusing note. Initially they arbitrarily replaced the toolbar icon for "Save as" to a new, stupid icon with a stylized MS "O" for office. Apparently I was not the only one who hated this: one of the two (so far) massive "updates" changed the icon back to "Save as"

- Thank you!
Since I didn't have Microsoft Office software, I often sufferd from writing/turning in reports. This is very useful, and I'm happy with it now. Thank you!
