Have some people been using a different version of this software from me? (or trying to run it on OS9 maybe?)
It's not perfect (lack of VBA support, lack of advanced features in Excel, slow to start up, not fully compatible with spaces), but I think it's quite good and definitely worthy of four stars (I'm running the latest update 12.1.4 at the time of writing).
iWork '08 is not a good idea, as although Apple say it's compatible with the word and excel formats, it doesn't display the advanced formatting in these files properly. The only serious competition Office 2008 has is OpenOffice 3.0 (which now runs natively on the mac).

Office Mac 2004 - Student and Teacher Edition is a fantastic package. I myself am a University student and obviously needed a copy of Word and PowerPoint respectively for lectures, and so bought a copy off ebay (seems to be the best place to find it cheap) for under forty quid.
In College 3 years ago, I had already familiarized myself with the 'full' version of Office Mac 2004 that contained all the features possible, and the slightly different interface. Following on from this experience, and after looking at the average feedback for the 2008 edition, I opted for the Student and teacher edition of 2004 to see if it was much different from the full version I had used.

I had to buy this when I discovered my Accounting/Uni software demanded the service pack 2 edition of Windoze (sic.), which unfortunately was not on the virtual pc for mac 6.1 that I'd already shelled out 180 quid for previously.
So I'm a bit disappointed with the v.6.1 for not "lasting" longer, but that said, the moment that the dratted Windows software loaded onto v.7 and rumbled into life I have to honestly say there were tears of joy fighting to burst forth from my eyes.
Virtual pc for mac is not cheap, but it is a fraction of the price of a pc laptop anywhere near comparable to my mac G4 PowerBook.
Not only that, it saved me endless, often fruitless, wasted hours searching for a pc laptop capable of meeting my most basic computing needs . ... Read More:
