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!

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.
