Features, Office Microsoft has released the first service pack to Microsoft Office:Mac 2008. The company also said that sales of Office:Mac 2008 have "soared", and that it is "selling faster than any previous version of Office for Mac in the past 19 years". Microsoft also had a surprise announcement about Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) support.

As for what OpenOffice.org is like compared to Office 2008 - when OpenOffice.org loads faster than Microsoft Office, you know there is something wrong.


OpenOffice.org version 2.3, 2.4 & upcoming 3.0 will load faster than Office 2008 on all platforms except probably for XP.

AFAIK Office 2008 does not load at all on a Linux platform ... on that platform therefore Office 2008 is infinitely slower than OpenOffice.org.

Or infinitely faster, it's a tough call. Signed infinities always give me a headache
