    5 of 5 Good Software Sunday, March 22, 2009
    William M. from Clearwater, Florida  

    I recently bought and use Mac Office and also use Microsoft Home & Student for Vista. I can tell you that Mac Office has run perfect on my Macbook Pro without any problems. I am happy with both products because when I transfer a document from Mac Office to Vista, I can update it with Vista and vice-versa without losing any content or colors. Mac Office has all the same abilities as does Home and Student. I couldn't be more satisfied.

    5 of 5 great product, good price, works great with our iM Wednesday, March 26, 2008
    A Customer from OKC, OK  
    We just purchased our first Mac, and wanted the familiarity and ease of using Microsoft office products for documents. I have only used it a couple times, but so far it is great. It was very easy to load onto the computer, and there were no problems from start to finish.

    5 of 5 Good Buy! Sunday, March 02, 2008
    Mike from Monroe, WA  
    The price of Office for the Mac was unbeatable. I am new to using a Mac but using MS Word was not too different from my years of PC use. I typically use Word and have found it to meet my expectations. I especially appreciate being able to save documents in earlier Word formats (word 97-2004) and being able to save in compatability mode. Good product-great price.

    3 of 5 Excel missing features Saturday, February 02, 2008
    dpr from Nashville, TN  
    I haven't used this product extensively, but my first impression of Excel was a disappointment. This was an upgrade from Office 2004 for Mac and is used on an iMac with a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4 GB RAM and OS 10.5.1. Microsoft decided to remove the Visual Basic macro feature from Excel and replace it with Apple Script, which makes this version totally incompatible with its Widows counterpart in this regard. Also Word and Excel are painfully slow when launching and seems sluggish under normal use compared to the 2004 version. One improvement that's nice is the formula wizard in Excel. My advise: If you're currently using Office 2004 or X and you're proficient with Excel, use macros, share with Window users and isn't one that needs the newest bloatware, I wouldn't bother upgrading.

    5 of 5 Great buy for students with Apple computer Saturday, February 02, 2008
    A Customer from Fort Worth, Texas  
    Great buy on this student edition Microsoft Office package. All the features of the MS Office set but at substantially reduced price. A must have for any college or high school student with an Apple computer.
