Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac was purchased as an upgrade. I work as an editor and publisher of niche publications and it is necessary for me to have recent versions of software to serve my clients.

That said, this is the slowest, most memory-sucking MS Office yet. The performance on a G5 2.0 Dual GHz Mac running Mac OS 10.5.5 is abysmal. On my Intel Mac Dual Core 2.0 GHz MacBook Pro, the performance is only slightly better.

I suspect the primary reason for the slow boot-up time is that (as a publishing professional) each machine has more than 100 fonts open at any given time. MS Word does not handle large font libraries very well.

My recommendation is to avoid this program if you can. The Text Editor that is part of Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard) is far more ... Read More

I made a sea-change jump from VC++6.0 to Visual Studio 2008. I miss my old ClassWizard, but it only took a day or so to get familiar with the new methods. Probably the hardest thing to get used to is the change from Alt + E + I to launch Find-In-Files to using Ctrl + Shift + F. Even after weeks of using VS2008, I still do the old key combination.

The executables produced are great and the program functions reliably.

I would easily buy it again.

I could not even install MS Project. I keep getting some cryptic error message box informing me that MS Project 2007 is not compatible with Office 2007. Never mind that I don't even have Office 2007 installed. Actually, I SHOULD know better. Even if they are FREE, Microsoft garbage/bloatware is seldom worth the trouble--move on.

Outlook with Business Contact Manager is a misnomer. BCM is in reality a bolt-on application that works alongside Outlook with a similar file structure. This would be a fine arrangement except that Outlook and BCM do not integrate together. For example, contacts with the same name in both Outlook and BCM are different contacts and do not share information nor do they synchronize in any way. I use a hosted Outlook Exchange service that keeps my desk and mobile email and contacts synchronized. When I moved a contact from Outlook to BCM I lost visibility of that contact through Exchange and the contact became visible only through my desktop. This is an unacceptable backward step. I just wasted the hundred bucks I spent on the Outlook with BCM application. As best I can tell, the best contact manager/CRM ... Read More

I have never been so frustrated over an operating system. If Vista was my first experience with a computer then I would never have developed an interest in the technology. I can't even down grade to XP. Getting Vista wasn't my idea. It came pre-installed with my new computer so now I have to re-install my old harddrive in order to have XP. Vista causes PhotoShop's tools not to work. No matter which tool I click it remains with the "grabby hand" which does nothing. I can't even copy or paste in the application. Can this just be a coincidence? I've never had that problem with XP. Vista is so slow! Where's this major updated OS promised to us? How do these people stay in business?

For building and furnishing a home, there were not enough stencils. Also had trouble inserting stencils and having them stay where they were placed.
