Hobbled overpriced product that's four steps backward

Feedback Type:  Review

Contributed by: Superstitious Wednesday, April 08 2009 @ 08:43 PM PDT

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 6-12 months

Recommend Product: NO

1. Still not unicode and not bi-directional People want to use Windows in our language lab so they can do Arabic text. The Arabic letters not link up.

Guess what the students say? "Macs suck."

2. No VBA makes Excel worthless. Windows Excel has it. Excel for Mac used to have it.

3. New interface is less user-friendly than before.

It's time for every Mac user to stand up and say "I'm not going to buy another version of Office until it has feature parity with its Windows counterpart."
