Rating: - Something i've found out too late!!
everyone needs to consider when choosing either iwork or office that when you receive e-mails most attachments will be office documents. so if you choose to only buy one it may be worth your while getting office for the convenience of being able to read sometimes important attachments!!!
Rating: - At last a modern version of Office for MAC users.
I am a dual MAC and PC users. generally I use the MAC for play and photography and the PC for work and to use those software programmes which are not dual platform - I mean not MAC friendly.
I have used Microsoft Office from its first incarnation and nothing touches it for its ability and power and its worldwide recognision.

I would like to say that this software is much better than 2004 and so far i have not found any problems with it. It loads very fast and hasn't crashed once yet.

Rating: - I've downgraded to 2004 now.
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 ... Read More:
