Except, they switched the entire default file format to something else entirely (xlsx) that doesn't work with anything, and even leaves many versions of Excel in the dark. With VB eliminated, MS Excel would have made files that Open Office would always be able to open. The other thing that really pisses me off is that the only thing that older versions of Excel had that wasn't supported in Open Office, was the VB support. what I do know is that I really, really, really don't like this product at all. and the reason its hard to use is that they finally dropped support for some previous, different competitors method of use? I don't know. Or, perhaps Microsoft's success has become its own enemy, and the reason Office 2008 has a lot of the clumsiness of Open Office is that there is no competition to rip off anymore.

It appears as tho the old Microsoft software engineering principals of at least three ways to do everything, with those ways taken from the most successful previous products including competitors, have been abandoned entirely?. I got it home and found that it was difficult to navigate. I strongly recommend anyone who'd like to take a stab at being more objective and more willing to find sources, add something about how this products interface is completely different than other Office products. 79.67.217.192 ( talk) 13:24, 20 September 2008 (UTC) Īlso as stated on the Microsoft support site the picture issue has been resolved. And the fact that it doesn't have ribbon is not a valid criticism without explanation as too why the ribbon is better than the standard mac toolbar and who really gives a crap anyway. Wikipedia is not a place to review software. Who complained about Office for Mac not having a Ribbon? From the screenshots, it looks like it has rather ribbonish UI elements. Rather sad, and I'm afraid for MS that it gives Open Office a hell of a leg up.

It's clear that MS have fired a shot across Apple's bows with this.

I've switched to Fusion running office for Windows - so MS win this round.


I wish I'd read it before buying office for mac which is basically useless for me in every respect from crippled Excel, to amazingly crashy word (every minute on most templates!). I think the wiki article does a darned good job of laying out the extremely important deficits in Office for mac.
