If you are working in a multicorp environment the only thing that really matters is file format compatibility. OpenOffice is ruled out because it produces a different result than MS Office, the same goes for iwork. For me the question is:

Is the MS office for Mac compatible enough with windows MS office?

Can I finally stop using virtual box – XP – MS Office and run Mac MS Office instead?

I am working as a Linux/Unix technician and I hate MS by default. But as long I want to get any contracts at all I have to be 100% MS Office compatible, that is reality. I have read hundreds of reviews but none has answered the vital question. In the end of the day, will the produced documents show up exactly the same if my costumer open them in Windows whateverversion MS Office? Regardless if I use doc, docx, xls or xlsx?

I just got a MacBook Pro for work, with Office 2008 installed. It SUCKS! Working on a document today (in .doc format… I have to circulate it to people who don’t work in .docx yet…), and no less than SIX TIMES, Word had to shutdown “unexpectedly” and recover the document… into .docx format no less. I was a Use Case document I was reviewing. I had to save after every single change I made to avoid a crash that would lose my work… the autosaves weren’t enough to capture everything. NeoOffice eh? Worth a look…

I just de-installed Office 2008 on my computer and re-installed Office 2004. I hated the changes to the user interface! It was cumbersome and not user-friendly. Entourage did not allow synchronization to my PDA except through ical. It royally messed my calendar on Entourage. I finally ditched Entourage completely and am using iCal and Address Book.

It is ok to make it compatible with the open xml format, but why make dramatic changes to the user interface?

PS I am now considering switching to iWorks

I heard about not bad application-pst file reader, can read corrupted files of PST and OST format and save emails, works with all supported versions of Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Windows, supports data extraction as separate files in *.eml, *.vcf and *.txt format, they will be placed to any folder upon your choice, the size of every single output PST file will not exceed 1Gb, can work with very large files,is so easy, that even inexperienced users can easily work with this program.

I don’t want to be screwed again by M$. Bought Office 2004 3 years ago, the same key won’t install once I changed hard drive. Spent $10 and got a new key from M$, that key again failed to work when I need to reinstall due to upgrading to Leopard. Called M$ this morning they disconnected me while transfering to their “Install Support” department. F M$!

What are you people talking about, Office 2008 for the Mac SUCKS!!!!!! Spellcheck doesn’t work in my PPT, and th bullet points in Word still have the same bug they’ve always had – one bullet will go bold and you can’t get it to change even though you’ve un-bolded everything, you know the one. How the h_ll can this bug still be in there after all these years and versions – this bloatwear still sucks the big one!!!!
