Lastly - don't pay the extra $80.00 for outlook. Also - I didn't think I'd like the full screen mode - I was wrong! Awesome :)
The similarities between windows office (which is usually better) and mac office is amazing. Most people probably don't care - but to me, it's all the difference :) Ribbon interface is awesome. Also, Cambria was the same, but the bold/italic didn't work properly because it wasn't a registered font on the mac. Hasn't quit once, and although most people probably don't care - incase you didn't notice with office 2008, many fonts that were on windows, like Calibri, were different on the mac. Activation took 3.5 seconds (timed) and it was ready to use. People claim that activation doesn't work, and that the stability (meaning the program will quit unexpectedly) is completely not true. I purchased this product with confidence that it would work properly - regardless of what other reviews said on Amazon.
