Microsoft Microsoft says it will be forced to delay Office 2008 for Mac, the next version of its productivity suite for Apple Inc. computers, until early next year. The company had been planning to release the product this year. But a recent development review showed that "the quality just wasn't where we wanted it to be," said Craig Eisler, who became general manager of Microsoft's Mac Business Unit in June.

"the quality ..."

sounds like it's even worse than earlier versions. ms office for osx looks nice, but it's slow as hell (ok, pages is even slower) and it crashes regularly. the last stable version of word was 5.1 - which was much better than the windows version (2.0 ?) back then. nowadays i'd really prefer the windows version - if it wouldn't run in windows.

"..nowadays i'd really prefer the windows version - if it wouldn't run in windows."

Use CrossOver Office for the Mac so you can run the Windows version without needing windows.
