MS Office was going OK (not great, nor nice) for my mac until this update. It converted Excel into a Classic app and now that I'm running Leopard, I can no longer open Classic apps. In the first place what's an update to do with converting apps into obsolete code? Very Microsoft-ish, thank you.

Another user posts that it converted his Powerpoint app to Classic.

Seems either the update is downright 100% Microsoft ingenuity or maybe the affected apps were modified by whatever viruses or trojans they were designed to counter, and the update "fixed" (for good) the afflicted apps (without telling you it'd do this)?

Oh well. This is typical Microsoft for you. If it hadn't been for me having (being forced) to teach my students MS Office, I'd be using Apple Pages all the way. I've already ditched Powerpoint completely over Apple Keynote because Keynote makes it easier, a WHOLE lot faster and more saavy for presentations.
