 At last a modern version of Office for MAC users. August 10, 2008

I am a dual MAC and PC users. generally I use the MAC for play and photography and the PC for work and to use those software programmes which are not dual platform - I mean not MAC friendly.
I have used Microsoft Office from its first incarnation and nothing touches it for its ability and power and its worldwide recognision. I have used the MAC programmes but whilst I like them they are somewhat more basic then I like. So I saw this and bought it, even after reading the awful reviews from some reviewers.
My view, it does exactly what I want it to do, I can easily send Excel and Word files to my PC with no platform problems and as yet I can't fault it. The big plus for me is that it has Entourage so I can down load my Outlook emails and MAc emails at the same time and it has Messenger.
There are a few things I would have liked in the programme and these are firstly, that Messenger was as powerful as the Microsoft PC version. The MAC version has no video and no shared files facility so if I want to send a file or start a video with a mate I have to swap platforms.
The other problem I had is that this version comes with 3 licences. Great, unless your daughter, like mine, loads the software and uses the same licence I used. Microsoft then freeze the use of that programme on that computer and even removing the programme will not resolve the issue. I had to remove the programme and the cookies in the MacBook then use Time Machine and go back a week an reload from there. Takes about 4 hours!!!
Anyway I suppose thats my problem not Microsoft.
All in all a great bit of software and please I hope that software developers soon catch up and write more great programmes for the MAC.
Great July 18, 2008

I would like to say that this software is much better than 2004 and so far i have not found any problems with it. It loads very fast and hasn't crashed once yet.
Superb and Affordable Upgrade January 16, 2008

Bought this for my 18month-old MacBook as iWork hasn't quite cut it for me in all areas. Installation was an absolute breeze, and load times are just a smidgin longer than in Windows - so much faster than Office 2004 for Macs!
The funny ribbon thing at the top is also a hell of a lot easier to understand and use than the Windows version, didn't take me very long to adapt.
Add to all this that it's faster to use, much lovelier to look at, more compatible, AND entourage has had a great new look and built-in stuff, for 90 this is an absolute steal!
Excellent upgrade, thoroughly recommended. January 15, 2008

Office 2008 has finally arrived, and it is similar in execution to Office 2007 for Windows - but obviously adapted to brings out a Mac's strength. It will take some getting used to, as the interface is redesigned, but once you've used it for a day, you'll realise it is naturally more intuitive. Put simply, it makes more sense.
Once you put a bit of time and effort into realising all of the amazing things you can do with Office 2008, you will be knocking out much more detailed - and attractive - documents with ease. Word is excellent and universally compatible, Excel solid as ever, and PowerPoint links so easily with iPhoto that you can make a top-notch slideshow in 10 minutes flat.
At this price point - with a license for 3 computers - it is an absolute bargain!
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!
