[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 607545, member: 21101"] The slow startup is awful, agreed. Word 2003 on my Parallels install starts up in literally less than a second, and that's on the same hardware but behind a virtual machine! The .docx is no worse than iWork saving it's own default, and you can easily change the default in the preferences and it will default every document to compatibility mode. Finally, MS is not allowed to have its applications export to PDF, as this is not an open source format. Apple apps can, because the entire OS is essentially based on the same technology behind PDF. You can just do Print, then Print to PDF to work around it. [/QUOTE]
