Not bad but could be better (2010-08-29) : 3/5
Overall, still pretty good but the older version seemed more user friendly. I liked the tab setup that the pc version had a lot more. It also seems that the mac version can be a little sluggish at times. Seeing how my mac is only about 3 months old, I have to attribute this to the software, not the computer. That being said, if I had to do it over again, I probably would have given iWork a shot instead. Back when I was primarily a pc user, I had an older copy for windows xp. I have to say I like it better than the mac version. The interface was much more visually pleasing which may not really seem like a big deal, but as a heavy office user it is something nicer to look at for extended periods. Also, I liked the layout of the pc version better as well. Using the tool palette can be a little tedious because it somehow finds a way to always get in the way.
It works! (2010-08-25) : 4/5
First of all, I got this through amazon at a great price ($109), so that made me happy. Secondly it arrived within a week which made me even happier. Thirdly, loading it to my 2005 mac was a cinch, which, you guessed it, took me to the third level of happiness. Anyway, I have already started using Word,Powerpoint and Excel and I am glad to report that they work great! So far no problems, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I hope that whatever bugs that were reported earlier have already been fixed.
New 2 Mac (2010-08-24) : 4/5
I'm new to Mac, so this will take some time getting used to, just because of the operating system. Easy to install; slightly different appearance than Microsoft Office on a PC, but still alright. Gave it four stars because I'm still new to Mac, and I'm still exploring everything on my new computer.
MS Office 2008 (2010-08-19) : 1/5
Please note that this review refers to the 2008 Mac Home and Student Edition. This edition is native MAC and is supposed to offer speed improvement. However, it crashed frequently on my machine. Not recommended.
Fine for home use. (2010-08-17) : 5/5
Great for home use. If you need it for a business environment, I would upgrade.
