Microsoft Office 2004 Standard (Mac) review:3 stars (OK) - You should only get this if you really nead it ... unfortunately, you probably do. Although overall this is a fairly decent attempt by Microsoft to make something asthetically pleasing and Mac like, it is hampered by the usual Microsoft problems:

1. It keeps 'helping' you when you don't want it to. Although you can presumably turn most of these features off you probably wont have the time or inclination to find out how to. So you'll have the pleasure of being confronted by offers to create Powerpoint slides when you open up Word, have brackets turned into smilies as well as a host of other random edits and substitutions that are correct maybe 10% of the time.

2. It is bloated with features most of which still don't work correctly. I would say this is slightly worse than the Windows version. For instance, the bulleting and numbering seems to go wrong or randomly switch between styles more often and the styles and header numbering is even less stable.

In addition to these standard MS problems they've managed to make the whole thing run really very slowly. I'm using a G4 Powerbook and Word cannot even always keep up with my moderate touch typing speed (i.e. there is a noticable lag between typing and words appearing). If you are editing a document with lots of numbering then you will notice delays in the order of seconds when, for instance, deleting selections - even small ones.

Overall: a decent looking release hampered by the usual Microsoft problems and a general sluggishness.1 stars (You Can't Teach a Tiger a New Word) - The current version of Office2004 is NOT COMPATIBLE WITH TIGER!!! Microsoft Word will crash on you, and to a crippling degree. Do not buy this if you have a Mac, since you'll eventually upgrade to Tiger and Microsoft may or may not care enough to fix it. If you've got some sort of Microsoft addiction and intend to buy it anyway, you could always see if they've released a patch for it. Don't just take my word for it, check out the discussions all over the net by searching "word crash in tiger". There's always NeoOfficeJ...4 stars (Same Functionality) - I have not tried Entourage because I am fine with Mac's Mail program. Word, Powerpoint and Excel work just like on a Window's computer. I have not had any problems switching files between my Mac and a Window's computer (people ask me if that is a problem).

The only drawback to me is that the toolbars are a little more confusing in the Mac versions. They are all individual windows and I am so used to Microsoft Works toolbars being all up top.
