[X4U] MS Office 2008 delayed

[Dennis Thompson II]

I personally use OpenOffice without any problems.  It still requires X-11
on the Mac to run, but otherwise works fine for all my document and
presentation needs.

I've been using it on WinXP, and Linux since before 1.0.  I started using on
my iBook since 2.0.  My wife even swears by it now.  She's been using it for
all of her MBA coursework.

Purportedly there is a group working on an OS X native version but it may be
a while.

Just my $0.02 worth on the subject

BTW - OpenOffice allows you to open/save as a very wide range of file
formats.  I've only had a couple of issues with translation and they were
minor issues with a presentation slide.

The main reason we don't have any MS-Office products installed is price.  In
addition, as soon as my wife finishes her MBA all of our PC's save one will
be running some form of Linux.  Hence our lack of interest in Microsoft
products.

Have a great weekend!
