 Great Product - HUGE improvement over last edition November 11, 2008
If anybody owns MS Office 2003 for Mac (or older versions), upgrade - seriously. I'm not a MS fan, but I realize their Office suite is essential.
It is much easier to use the interface for the MS 2008 products. For example, Word now has 'quick access' buttons that allow you to put a cover page, table of contents, etc. into your document with much more ease. Excel has similar features, and you can quickly create charts from tables.
By the way, I have a Mac at home and a PC at work. I'm a student and use Word daily - I also work and use Excel daily. I prefer the PC version slightly more than the Mac version - but I virtually use the Mac version 100% of the time on my home computer even though I have parallels and Windows on my Mac. The Mac version is 95% of the PC version. Finally a strong MS product for Mac!
There is only 1 complaint I have. Documents save in the 2008 version by default which can not be opened on older version of MS Word / Excel / etc. You have to change the default settings to get things to save in the ".doc" or ".xls" version - otherwise it will default to ".docx" and ".xlsx". It's really simple - but I'm sure this will piss off 90% of users who aren't sure why their professors / supervisors can't open the documents they created at home. This is (rightfully) annoying, and is Microsoft's attempt to force the world into upgrading to the latest version..

amazon and cargologo was very nice in rechanging it for me
 Ok so far.. November 11, 2008
I recently purchased Office 2008 for Mac Home & Student Edition. So far, it is not too difficult to navigate through. I'm used to using the one for a regular PC, and of course I like that one better...but that's because I'm used to it. Everything is fairly the same on both versions. I'm a student and everything works fine. HOWEVER, if something goes wrong I will surely let you know.
A LOT for less November 11, 2008

The price was right (very reasonable), the product is great, and the service was fast. It just doesn't get much better than that. AND - I messed up my order online and ended up ordering TWO instead of one. Amazon took care of my mess-up and they were very prompt about it. Thanks for the great service.
Windows for MAC November 10, 2008
I tried to use the word processor with MAC and got very frustrated. In my opinion, this was a must!
