 Do not buy: missing important features Feb 11, 2008
By TX Flyer
"nethammer"
I've been a heavy Office 2004 Excel user for the past two+ years. I was severely disappointed when I installed Office 2008. Microsoft elected to omit functionality that is core to being productive in Excel - solver support, data analysis, Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), and more. If you rely on Excel to do any type of business analysis or are a student that will require access to data analysis tools (regression, histograms, distributions, etc.), you will be SOL with 2008. I highly recommend that you avoid Office 2008.
Office 2008 is so incomplete and unsuited for professional work that it prompted me to write this review, which is my first.

 Don't waste your money Jan 26, 2008
By Mark S. Franklin
As a big Excel user, I eagerly preordered and purchased this program, anticipating faster speed since it would run natively on my intel mac, and looking forward to being able to handle spread sheets with more than 65000 rows of data. Well I got one thing. What I didn't know was that I would be trading Visual basic support for this.
Not only have I lost all of my macros that I have written over the years, but it still runs as slow if not slower than Excel 2004, IT hangs, crashes, and corrupts files. I had to place a support call to identify a bug in the text import wizard, which is costing me 1 of my two free support calls. The icon buttons have been moved from the floating toolbars to the top of the spreadsheet window, so that unless you leave the window wide enough to stretch across you your screen you can't access them except through a drop down menu. Need I go on? The only reason I gave it a second star is for the increased number of rows.

just an absolute dog Feb 22, 2008
By Jeffrey M. Thompson
I had been putting off a new macbook purchase until office 2008 came out. I am a power Excel user and was looking forward to the performance increase. Hardly. I have 10MB Excel files that take 5 minutes to open. A simple cut and paste of two continguous cells causes a 5 minute hang up. Some files won't even open, or if they do open, won't run. Just an absolute disaster. If you need any kind of advanced Excel functionality, avoid this product.

Terrible waste of money Feb 22, 2008
By MG
I was so eager to have a version of Office running in Universal Binary. I had imagined it would be fast, at least compared to the dinosaur that is Office 2004. Boy, was I wrong! I've got a brand-new MacBook Pro, but Word and Excel are slow as molasses; the launch times are especially appalling. Word can easily take up to 25 seconds (!) to open up a new blank document. Various internet forums describe launch times that are even longer than this. Word 2003 on my XP machine launches almost instantaneously.
Cursor movement and text selection are also very sluggish.
The programs are buggy, too. I've already had numerous crashes, and have lost some data.
One final note: it's impossible to track changes in Word in-line (i.e. without the annotation bubbles) but to keep the bubbles for comments. (This was possible is Word 2003 for XP.) In other words, if you write a comment while tracking changes in-line, the comment can only be viewed in the bizarre Review Pane, buried among dozens of marked changes. It's completely maddening and a big minus for anyone who does serious editing work.
A big thumbs down on this one, M$. I wish I could get my money back. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT.

Not worth any money at this time... Feb 11, 2008
By Mac Justav
If you need Office for any current Mac, get Office 2004 instead while you can, or see if iWorks is sufficient.
Excel 2008 is substantially slower than 2004 (on a MacBook/2GHz C2D/2GB/ample HD space), not able to fully read 2004 documents (even without VBA), and mainly useful to get a long and detailed look at the spinning beachball (minutes to open an Excel document that 2004 opens in seconds, all while the cpu load is at 100%).
If it was free and a beta release, it might be acceptable. But given the price tag and based on the anticipated speed increase (native on Intel, as compared to Rosetta), it is utterly disappointing.
