NewEgg rocks!1/20/2008 8:31:55 AM
Works, but no Upgrade12/2/2010 7:06:42 PM
Pros: Well, it's office 2008 for the mac.
Cons: Not eligible upgrade to 2011
Overall Review: For the past two months this product was advertised as qualifying for a free upgrade to Office 2011. (which is why I purchased it)This turned out to be untrue as the upgrade was rejected by Microsoft. Now I'm stuck with Office 2008.
Good4/15/2009 9:29:47 PM
Pros: Everything you need is in this product. Best edition so far.
Cons: Price as usual.
Overall Review: Word processing made easy. All-in-one.

Pros: Bought this for my sister that's going to collage WORKED FLAWLESSLY! saved over 100 bucks buy buying it on new egg!
Cons: NONE! :) BUY IT RIGHT NOW!
Overall Review: MacBook Pro 17" Intel Core 2 DUO 2.44ghz INTEL GMA 3100XT :D.

Pros: I'm a business graduate student, so most of my Office uses relate to that of a college student. I've come in to no problems, with only one Excel compatibility problem...
Cons: In one of my statistics classes, we are required to use a Microsoft Office Add-On, called Megastat. This add-on (I'm not sure if others would work) is not compatible with Mac Excel.
Overall Review: Worth it for Mac users!
Great Product for Mac Users!1/14/2009 9:27:25 AM
Pros: This product is installed in my ibook G4 OS X (10.4.11), and it works very well. I like it better than other similar software products I have tried in the past. I can now work smoothly with all my PC-user friends and coworkers. The price is surprising a great value too!
Cons: none
Overall Review: I wish I had bought this product sooner!
5/27/2008 12:23:31 PM
Pros: Great product, takes a little to get used to the new "ribbon" layout.
Cons: Must save in 97-2003 mode or the person that opens the file must be able to open 2007 documents.
oops, didn't see exchange support is not included4/16/2008 2:01:08 PM
Pros: Newest version has some nice updates.
Cons: Didn't notice that exchange server support is not included in 2008. It was included in 2004 edition.
Overall Review: I used the 45 day refund policy with MS to return this version so I can get the version with Exchange support.

Pros: Speediest free delivery I have ever had! Okay, so this should be about the software, but I am blown away by the price, free shipping and speed of delivery. Office 2008 for Mac is about what I expected; nice enhancements from 2004, but 4 years is a long time to get it right.
Cons: I still cannot register despite multiple attempts and cannot find a mechanism to contact Microsoft about the hang up with my PID#. Also, seems to interfere with text expander even when not the front application. Otherwise smooth.
Overall Review: If you know you need this upgrade for your Intel Mac, then NewEgg is the place to buy it! I cannot rave enough on their selection, prices, free and speedy delivery!
