 Lack of significant Entourage improvements a big disappointment Jan 17, 2008
By Eric Tilenius
"tilenius"
For anyone who uses Microsoft Exchange server, you need the full version of this product. That's all good and well. What is NOT good and well, however, is that Entourage still does not support key features of Outlook and Exchange: you cannot sync tasks and notes, you cannot archive, and you cannot import .PST files. Entourage does not support complex HTML, either, so forwarding or replying to a complex HTML email results in garbage HTML tags going to your recipient. In short, what should have been a triumph for Microsoft is a resounding dud. The Mac is still very much a second class citizen for Microsoft users in an enterprise. I hope Microsoft will immediately address Entourage. Sadly, in this release, they did next to nothing to provide serious Entourage improvements.
The other applications are mildly spruced up, and are now Universal (Intel) binaries, so they run faster on the new Macs, and are now feature set equivalent to Windows.
But if you are like me and 90% of your work day is spent on email, the lack of a serious equivalent to Outlook on the Mac makes this release a real disappointment. Entourage should have been brought up to Outlook-like capabilities, but it is far, far behind its Windows companion.
Personally, I would recommend using Apple's Mail and iCal, coupled with Apple's iWork products. I bought both and was hoping, frankly, for better from Office. I'm going back to iWork and Apple's applications and ripping out my Exchange server. Microsoft had four years to bring Entourage up to par. Instead they've delivered essentially a universal binary release on Entourage 2004. We Mac users deserve better.

I'll keep my 2004 version... Jan 17, 2008
By Regio Martins
Microsoft decided to downgrade Excel for Mac 2008 by not including Visual Basic (aka "macros") and the Analysis Toolpack (the statistics tools), which are both very important for business / technical users and included in the 2004 version. And worse, theses packages are an integral part of Office 2007 for Windows. To me, this clearly shows that Microsoft only downgraded the new version Excel for Mac so that prosumers still have a reason to keep running Windows, despite all the known problems with Vista. If MS offered a "full" version of Excel, many users would see no point in running XP/Vista anymore...
Despite all the enhancements in the 2008 version, Office for Mac 2004 runs without a problem in Intel Macs (thanks to Rosetta) and delivers what is expected. So people that use macros or the statistical tools just CAN'T upgrade to the new version.

No HTML email forwarding? Ridiculous. Jan 18, 2008
By B. Pang
The suite seems fast and well put together, however aside from the aforementioned missing VBA support and analysis toolpaks in Excel, one major highly visible feature is missing from Entourage. The missing feature is the ability to forward HTML emails. It's a glaringly ridiculous feature omission. I don't want to have to continually fallback to mail.app just to forward intact HTML emails. Microsoft needs to fix this now.

Snappy but Word 2008 doesn't work with Spaces Jan 18, 2008
By Mac nonfiction writer
Office 2008 is much faster than the 2004 version, and it makes your entire system feel delightfully snappy. Unfortunately, Word 2008 doesn't work with Spaces. It allows you to place different documents in different spaces, but your documents won't stay there. Instead, they all return to one space. Who would have thought Word 2004 (which has no problem with Leopard) would work better with Leopard than Word 2008?
Summary verdict: if you use Word and rely on Spaces, you'll hate Office 2008.

 NO VBA!!!!!!!!!!! Jan 20, 2008
By A. Anderson
"DoctorAA"
If you do any programming or statistical analysis with Office, stay away from this ripoff!!! VBA and the Analysis Toolpak are gone -- and of course, you won't find this out until AFTER you've wasted your money!!!!!
