Summary: Better than most, but couldn't it be better still?
Comment: Technologically speaking, we have an ecumenical household... Windows Vista on one desk and Mac
Panther on the other. So I thought that upgrading the Mac to Mac Office 2008 would be a cinch.
After all, the results of the Vista/Office 2007 upgrade were so "interesting" why should the Apple
side of the house not be offered the same challenge?

It installed on the iMac with
minimal trouble, but maximum time. Apparently Microsoft's Macintosh department is as feverishly
obsessed with updates and fixes as the Window's side, so just doing the installation is not enough.
You have to wait for the software to install, then check for updates and wait some more while they
are downloaded and configured.

Truth be told, neither of us is completely thrilled with
the more current versions of Office. The interface seems more convoluted and not nearly as
intuitive, but perhaps with time it will become so. The added functionality with 2008 is good,
although not groundbreaking. All the tools are there (you can read the product description for the
details, I don't have to list them here... again).

Bottom line, if you want to upgrade
your existing Mac, I would suggest that you shop carefully and buy this when it's attractively
discounted. If you just got a new Mac, by all means, get it now.

Summary: If you like microsoft programs
Comment: This is the first version I have used, so I can't compare with older ones. It's vivid colorful and
fresh looking and has the programs I am use to using with my pc- just tweaked. I am just switching
over to Mac at home. It was a bit slow loading.

Summary: Never recieved item
Comment: This seller should be taken off of Amazon. I'm not quit sure why they have not been taken off yet. I
ordered this item on November 17, 08 and never recieved the item. I tried to contact the seller a
few times and recieved no reply. I have contacted my credit card company in regards to this issue
and hope that any one who has bought a product from this woman does the same. I repeat do not buy
this product.

Summary: Upgrade has excellent features
Comment: Microsoft Office 2008 has aligned itself with MAC. It is more refined, less clumsy and offers more
visual cues to increase productivity.
Worth upgrading.

Summary: Works well on the Mac
Comment: I have used Office 95,97,2000,2003 on Windows. I got a MacBook last year, and with it, got I
Work'08. I am learning Pages and Numbers - they seem good enough except for a few things I liked
here and there about Office - I was willing to live with the differences, until I starting getting
Office 2003 Docs. and xls files - and when Numbers and Pages opened them, a few - few - things would
not convert well enough. I tried Open Office for the Mac, and had a couple of issues with that, as
well.

So, I shelled out the $100 for Office 2008 for Mac and everything is lovely.
Back are the few things that were annoyances when I was using I Work'08 - Plus, and this a good
thing to me, the Ribbon menu from Office 2007 for Windows is not here (good deal!), so I don't have
that learning curve to ascend.

If you need it, get it. It works.
