[QUOTE="yogi, post: 596520, member: 8542"] Well, I've used Office 08 for a few weeks now but never in class itself, because the semester begins on Tuesday for this year. And Office 08 has been out for just a month now. I haven't experienced a single crash, I'm using the home/student edition. I think those issues are singular, and Microsoft Mac Business Unit is fairly brisk with updates on Office for Mac (at least better than Windows). I suggest you go for it, Microsoft can't afford to have Office in a non-working state on Macs. I personally did all my accounting by hand, with a calculator. And that was all. For business admin and economics, you'll be spending a lot of time behind books, and notes in class are all mostly text based, with the occasional sketch, which Office for Mac handles brilliantly in it's Notebook Layout mode, which is unique to the Mac and absolutely made for students. You can even record audio notes into a document (I use that to speak out some questions I have during class, I also use it to protocol group work). I just got my Macbook Air and will be using a laptop in class for the first time on Tuesday, but I know a lot of Mac users there, they seem quite happy. [/QUOTE]
