 awesome, 2008-04-27
this version of office is so easy to use, especially for someone like me, who is a bit slow at things. The layout is up to date and just beautiful. This is my first Mac and now with how easy I can have the programs I am used to on it... makes me never want to go back to PC's.

 Fair to middlin', 2008-04-27
I've used Office for years on PCs, but this was my first time to use Office 2008 for Mac. I have an Intel-based iMac and this software product is slow. Compared with Apple's iWork suite of office-like programs, Office is simply snail-like. Although Office 2008 has a few more features than iWork it's not as tightly integrated among applications. Office still has the look and feel of a loose collection of programs acquired over the years by Microsoft and called a "system." I much prefer the cheaper and more tightly integrated iWork over Office 2008 and wish I had saved my money and bought only iWork.

 What a mistake, 2008-04-26
The following applies to the standard version of Office 2008, but suppose it also applies to the Home & Student version.
I upgraded from Office 2004 to Office 2008 because Office 2004 had so many bugs in it that I could not do work sometimes. Little things like crashing, text disappearing all by itself, formatting being impossible to fix, graphics missing parts, spurious error messages like "This file cannot be saved because your hard disk is full"...
In Office 2008, completely updated, THE BUGS ARE EVEN WORSE than in Office 2004. I paid 500 dollars for this?
I don't care about what "features" it has or does not have. I just want to type and edit pages of text. The bugs in Office 2008 make typing and editing even more difficult than in Office 2004.
And since the people who made this have no common sense, they made the default file formats for everything different (for example, .docx rather than .doc), so if you make a document and save it and send it to someone with any earlier version of Office, they cannot open the file.
I have no choice but to use Office because that is what my clients use.
Worse than taking my money, they waste my time.

Bloated, weaker, buggier..., 2008-04-22
This has turned a relatively stable suite of products into a less-intuitive and less-productive hassle. Word and Excel crash regularly, documents that are related to Office download from Safari as .xla, .pot and .dot. For me, though, the biggest issue is the revisions to the Excel chart maker and it's lack of an x-axis naming field. All in all, Office 2008 adds about 25% more time to projects than it's predecessor.
On the plus side? Macros are gone.
