Existing users, 
Excellent for me. Of course it's slow and bulky, but that MicroSoft.
If you use word processors a lot you might want to give Bean (need to google it), Schreiben, iText, DigiTools a try. Those are faster and more fun to use. iText opens like grease lightning. It's the Fastest opening Word Processor.
For the sad sack below, you did two things wrong.
1. you bought Leopard.
2. you installed leopard.
I had a copy of leopard and tossed it in the trash then pissed on it and called it a dirty pig.
Apple is in a transition of trying to make their computers cheaper by using PC parts and at the same time mutating their software to run on the new machines, AND at the same time trying to prevent people from just running Mac OS on a PC. I'm doing it the smart way and I'm saving up to buy a full blown G5 PPC quad running Tiger 10.4.11. Then sit back and enjoy myself while others spend years getting the bugs out of leopard only to find out that it was not worth the trouble to up grade. What is so special about leopard, it works better with PC hardware. There is no amazing changes.
Apple is trying to get enough PC users to switch over and put Gates out of business, once that happens you will be able to install Mac OS freely on any computer. Then end of Viruses on the world will be the clincher. Apple has the best OS, and Gates has always been pissed because he had to work with crap, he got rich by being sneaky. It's time to let MicroSoft die and be bought up by Apple.
Did you know that in all the computer companies have sound proof rooms where they work out war tactics and have bug checks. This is first hand info with my own eyes. Gates did his thing and got rich and a superstar status. Now there is no where for him to go. Just sell to Apple before all your employees end up at the bread lines with the HUGH LONG recession we are entering now. The ONLY good thing about a recession is that it will make the dollar strong again. It depression it's this country will be gone this time around and not recover.
Now that's a comment LOL

I thought it would be patently obvious by now that Ancient Boii Tribe's posts were questionable at best, worthless and instigating at worst. Don't feed into it. The fact that the post was an indictment of Leopard and NOT a review of the software on this page should have been evidence enough.Friday, January 18 2008 @ 12:00 AM PST

I am sorry that you are having problems with Leopard. I was one of the early adopters and I also ran into deep trouble. But in the end it turned out that most the issues were related to third party haxies and Apple could not really be blamed for that, could it? There is still no AD integration and that is really bad. This said, now that I have it running and I compare it to computers running Tiger, I must say that there is a subtle difference that does not want me go back. Spotlight is faster and so is booting. The CLI tools like rsync work more reliably. The finder is snappier and more responsive. Even PPC apps running under Rosetta are reasonably fast. I do not regret having ugraded.Secondly, I have a G5 and two intel boxes. I am into movie making and hence have to convert into a lot of formats. What takes 24 hours on my dual 1.8 GHz G5 takes 3 hours on my cheap Intel iMac. So much to PC parts.
As far as the actual product you are reviewing goes, I believe few people expect it to be sexy or faster than similar apps. In fact. I have not used the new Office and I am using the old one only for compatibility reasons and it serves me well. Since I do crunch huge datasets, I am mostly interested in Excel's extended spreadsheet size allowance. But I can wait.

Two things bone head. Leopard is way faster than Tiger... even on my circa 2000 PowerMac G4 Digital Audio with 1 GHz processor upgrade.Secondly, the Mac Pro's smoke the G5's. Freescale/IBM dropped the ball with the PPC. Sad but true.
Oh, and one more thing.. try to get new software to run on your G4/Tiger in two years.
Let's not feed the trolls.
Oh back to the topic. I like MS Office just fine.

I love this comment. Its rambling, creative, stream-of-consciousness. Love it.Don't bang this guy for his comments. He's entitled to his opinions - however incoherent they may be at times.
Personally, I don't agree with him about Leopard - its superior to Tiger in so many ways its silly. But this guy has obviously been around a while and knows his stuff, so we shouldn't just write him off.
Dude, you get your quad-core G5 and run 10.4.10 on it. More power to you.

The guy SHOULD be "banged" for his comments, since they are nothing but instigating, uninformed and usually insulting. Hopefully the powers that be will take notice of this.Sunday, May 18 2008 @ 02:40 AM PDT

For the sad sack who wrote this review, I have two comments:1. What is wrong with you?
2. Please don't post useless reviews on Versiontracker.
I don't know where to begin to address your stupid review. Leopard has run PERFECTLY for me since the day I installed it. Lucky, you say? No. I installed it on SEVEN computer computers and all run flawlessly. MS Office for Mac is a great program and allows me to have a Mac-based office in a Windoze world.
Please use Vista for a month (which I was recently forced to do when working on site with a client) and tell me Leopard is wrong. You will find out the truth. YOU are the one who is wrong!
