Problems with Microsoft Office 2008 for mac?

mac reviews
Roger asked:


I’ve decided to get a macbook pro and I’ve been reading the reviews for Ms Office 2008 mac edition (Home and Student edition).

Does anyone have any problems with that? I’ve read the many reviews on the apple web page and many people have been complaining about how slow it is and how it keeps crashing the system. I don’t want to waste 200 bucks just to crash my new laptop, so please enlightened on this…. Thanks!
I’d use that iWorks too, but I think it’ll be easier to use ms office since that’s what most of the offices/schools are using.

mac review
karans301 asked:


I want to get the HP Pavillion tx2500z (Maximum Ghz / RAM / HDD / OS), but I have an iPod Touch 2G 32GB and plan to use ALL the features, (including the Multiple Calendars), so should I get the MacBook instead? Please list the advantages of having a Mac with an iPod Touch in detail and which you recommend. No Windows vs. Apple please, state your argument reasonably…

mac reviews
christeensayss asked:


I’m getting a mac soon and im planning on buying one of these two programs but im not sure which one is best for me. I’ve been reading the reviews for office 2008 for mac and they don’t look very good, so im thinking about getting iwork’08. I’m just starting college this year and im not sure what to get all i really need is a program with word in it or whatever but yeah, nothing to fancy, i just need it for school. (im majoring in nursing btw, if that helps haha)

What free program is best to video chat via Mac-PC from US-UK (read details please!)?

mac reviews
AutumnIris asked:


I tried talking to my friend using AIM and it didn’t register her camera and mine wouldn’t let me invite her to video chat. We tried using MSN Messenger but the Mac version of MSN is still in it’s beta version so is therefore limited.
NO we can’t use SKYPE… for some reason her University doesn’t support it.
I was looking into different options and found iVisit and iSightSpeed. I can’t really find too many pros or cons reviews for either, plus the “free-ness” of each is sketchy. Which do you find is better (especially supporting iSight webcams)? Any other suggestions?

Mac BootCamp?

mac review
Michelle asked:


Hey!

I’d like to know if I run Windows on a Mac via BootCamp and only use Windows for cetain programs that do not need an internet connection would that still put the rest of the system at risk of being infected by viruses ?

I would only go online in Leopard NOT Windows.

I’m pretty sure that you are still going to reccommend that I have virus protection either way.

I’d also like a review of this BootCamp thing if possible….Do you find it to be effective ? convienient ?
Would you recommend that I keep a Mac as a Mac and a PC as a PC ?

Thanks

Which is better, Office 2008 or Office 2008 for my mac?

mac reviews
tizzanman asked:


I’ve heard rave reviews and hateful reviews.
I’m very sorry, Office 2008 or 2004 for mac. And it just so happens that the last time Office was updated for mac was 2004 so there is no Office 2007 for macs.

Which laptop/notebook: MAC or Windows?

mac review
Sweet Tennage YEARS asked:


I am looking for a laptop/notebook that is OK, just not a really bad one. I am looking for prices around $1500. Now, the question is MAC, which is good, but doesn’t have many programs that Windows does; or the Windows Vista, which needs upgrades on everything, and has many viruses?

Please list links to Reviews/Articles if possible.

Thank You!
