Average Rating: 
Rating: - No Reason to Upgrade
I purchased MS Office 2008 for a PowerMac G5 (with OS X 10.5.6). It's much slower loading than Office 2004 and doesn't appear to offer anything new of substance. I don't like the new interface much, but I'll get used to it. It does, of course, work better with the new file types, but I resented being forced into an upgrade by Microsoft -- especially one that performs worse (sound like Vista anyone?).
Rating:  - Quality Product
I upgraded from Office 2004 for Mac. Software installed seamlessly, integrated well with OX 10.5, no problems. I'm very satisfied with the product and how easy it was to install.
Rating: - Cleaner than Office 2004
After reading the negative reviews, I hesitated, but PowerPC-based 2004 ran so slow on my Intel Mac that I upgraded anyway.

As a life-long user of MS Word (I've written over 3 million words with MS Word), I switched to a Mac in August and naturally bought MS for Mac 2008. This is the most cumbersome product I've ever used.
One word to sum up the product: CRASH.
Many typical key sequences trigger a MS shutdown. For example:
1. If I stop a print command, the program crashes.
2. If I use the "auto correct" feature, the program crashes.
3. If ... Read More
Rating: - Upgrading Office on an old iMac + Expression Media comments
I installed Office 2008 on a 1.25GHz G4 iMac with System 10.4.11 . Since other reviewers have discussed the features and functionality of Office 2008 thoroughly, I am going to focus my review on the experience of upgrading from Office v.X to Office 2008. I'll also comment on Expression Media because it's what sets the Mac Office Special Media Edition apart from the other versions of Mac Office.
Background:
*I have experience with several versions of Mac Office, beginning with ... Read More
