 Works Well. Better than Mac Pages July 4, 2008
Have had no problems at all with word 2008, no crashes no speed problems. Tried using Mac Pages but pages has limited functionality, so use word.
 I've downgraded to 2004 now. June 26, 2008

I'm an English student and I need Word to type up my essays and my dissertation. I upgraded thinking "this one will be more stable and faster". WRONG. So wrong. It was ludicrously slow to load. On average 45-70 seconds to launch on a new MacBook, which is unacceptable. Once running the software has glitches and takes a long time to alter between the new interface ribbon at the top. It crashed on nearly every save. Needing this for my work, which I cannot afford to be losing large parts of I decided, ultimately, to sell my copy online and reinstall my older, supposedly slower 2004 version.
A very dissatisfied student customer.
If you need Office, stick with the 2004 one. It may run slower on an Intel based Mac, but it's far more stable and usable. Trust me, my work load and dissertation tells me so.
Office 2008 is just rubbish May 26, 2008

I upgraded (?) to Office 2008 from Office 2004 and everything crashed ! I loaded up the new Office SP patch and Office wouldn't open. I have now uninstalled this sad, broken, unfinished program and I am back to Office 2004. It is a shame that Microsoft don't seem to learn from their mistakes as this instability was the main reason I stopped using a PC !
1/10 - must try harder
Stay away ! May 25, 2008

There not much more to say about Office 2008 than: Stay away - and be happy with the version you already have ! It is so slow, it locks and crashes, ... I just don't understand how Micorsoft could release this - it is, at best, a beta version !
Beware.... May 20, 2008

I bought the 2008 version hoping for a Universal Binary speed boost..... the 2008 is so slow, i've switched back to office 2004. Running the old version under rosetta is actually faster than running the new version.
I'd hold off on buying this until Microsoft release a performance update.
