Review by Truth Teller
I’ll admit, I am mainly a Windows guy, but I do have a Mac and need to use office for work. So, using office on the Mac seemed to be a bit of a necessity to have the easiest collaboration between my computers and with colleagues. I was a bit hesitant to put any Microsoft software on my Mac, but I went ahead with it and I am glad that I did.
As a primarily Windows user, I always have to take a bit to acquaint myself with programs on Mac, but I found using Office on the Mac to be fairly easy to pick up. I do prefer the Office 2007 interface on my Windows computer, but that is somewhat unrelated.
Overall, I found the Powerpoint, Word, and Excel to work great, but I did not really like Entourage or have a real need for it. If you need to connect to a work email through Exchange, then Entourage is going to be your best bet on the Mac. I think that any user who needs to regularly collaborate spreadsheets, presentations, or word processing documents is going to find that just going with Office is going to be their best best.
