Review by John Faughnan

Word and Excel 2008 work reasonably well. PowerPoint 2008 has a longstanding bug that causes intolerable delays on text entry. It may be related to master slide or theme issues for presentations created on PowerPoint 2003. Performance is fine until the bug hits a presentation. There’s no known way to resolve the issue.

The bug has been discussed in various settings since 2008. There has been no fix.

I don’t think Microsoft is investing in this product.
