Microsoft Office Standard Student and Teacher Edition 2004 Macintosh

1 stars (Unstable) - I'm an undergraduate engineering student, which means I spend a lot of time 1) doing homework and 2) using my computer. During the times that those two activities coincide, I'm often writing a report or working with an Excel sheet. Before I picked up this version of Office, I had been using Office 2003 for over a year. Office 2003 crashed--a lot. Almost every time I'd use Word or Excel a crash would occur. As a result, I began to hit command-s after about every 25 keystrokes--obsessive, you might say. When I came back to school for the 2005-2006 year and upgraded to Office 2004, I had hopes that because the software was newer, it would somehow be more robust. In my opinion, it's really not. Sure, the interface is a bit cleaner and updated, but even though I'm running the most current versions of this sofware, it still doesn't work very well--crashes occur all too often. It's not the power software I had hoped it would be. As I've told my friends many times, I maintain that Microsoft produces crap for the Mac OS. You can disagree when you like, but I'll be switching to OpenOffice 2.0 when an OS X version is released. If you can get this for "free" (i.e., it's covered by tuition or something), go for it. It *IS* better than Office 2003, but not by much. 4 stars (not quite perfect) - I got the Office for Mac so as to allow me to transfer documents between machines. I would have to say that transferring data using a USB drive saves me a lot of time, although it is not entirely seamless. Some formats on Office Word 2003 are not quite the same on the Mac Office. Otherwise, Office for Mac allows me to continue using my Apple in a PC dominated workplace. It was a good investment. 4 stars (Great!) - First off, apple users seem to always have a biased view on anything that says "microsoft" on the box. Then they go off on a tangent on how terrible Microsoft is, they find one thing that they disliked in the program and find grounds to give...

Microsoft Office Standard Student and Teacher Edition 2003

5 stars (I hate to Admit it...) - MS Office is actually an excellent product. As a Mac person, I wish I could say that I preferred Apple's Work products, but they are not as fast as the Microsoft Office equivalents. 5 stars (Must have software) - I purchased the student and teacher edition 2003 of microsoft office for my son who is in his first year of high school. He uses this software everyday for homework, and is teaching his old mom a few new tricks as well - best $120 I've spent in a long while. 5 stars (good product, way better price) - Amazon's price was so much better than Dell's! And the package that comes with the student version of Windows has all the applications that an average person needs which is great. ...
