![]() If you need more proof then just go see their pathetic excuse for software "MSN Messenger for Mac." This article claims that the Office 2011 is more professional than previous versions but then refers to its colour scheme as "Candy Coloured." WTF!? If you make Apple users out to be little materialistic teens and that don't know anything about computers, then 3rd parties will treat you that way, and this is exactly the response we are seeing from Microsoft. It is no where close to as smooth as the Windows version. With multiple documents open forget about it, the software is as slow as a snail. Office for Mac crashes all the time and can't handle big files with tens/hundreds of pages. It was so slow !! After countless updates it is at least functional now but no where close to Office for Windows. Office 2008 when it first came out was almost unusable. This just alleviates the pressure from Microsoft to produce a product that actually functions as they see that all Apple and its users are interested in is appearance. Why is AppleInsider only talking about how it looks ? Even in the past, there is so much emphasis on how this stupid Office 2011 looks it's sickening. Nobody should be paying for office software anymore in my opinion, it has little room to grow and the market is flooded with cheap and decent alternatives. Heck, even TextWrangler from BareBones is free and allows one to edit system files with root powers, very nice. Cross train in various programs and you can use anything you like, not just stuck in MS world of constant security terrorism and the Stockholm Syndrome effect. Save in a universal format to be accepted into just about any program and your fine. You use one, you´ve used them all basically. ![]() I look at this way, if someone has got to edit your stuff and not accept a PDF or a hard copy, then itś best to use the same machine and software as everyone else, namely a Windows PC or VM with Office.Įlse, spreadsheets are spreadsheets, and word processors are nearly all the same, just some differences. If the files don´t retain formatting, then one really can use something else, like the free OpenOffice as it will save in a MS format, with that too there is some formatting loss, but at least one doesn´t have to pay for it. I don´t know why Mac users even bother using Office on their machines, the files don´t even retain their formatting when transfered to a Windows PC. Even for Mac users over the years there has been numerous serious security issues from Office. I avoid Microsoft software like the plague it is.
