A list of known issues with Microsoft Office 2008
Authored by: macnixer on Jan 26, '08 09:11:01AM

Why bother so much about x-plat scripting. Frankly I see no good reason to use Excel anymore. I prefer NeoOffice and the "Spreadsheet" is cool, has options for NeoOffice Basic (compatible with Microsaft Office), Python and JavaScript (compatible with OpenOffice). the only difference with Office and Neo is Entourage. I prefer Mail (I know it has shortcomings, I like to read and write mail, with good spotlight searches and Mail.app is perfect for it). iCal does my job for calendars and Addressbook is perfect for all my needs to keep my phone numbers synced with my Moto Rizr, and all everything related to contacts.

Frankly if I were to spend about $300 (either up or down), I would give it to the NeoOffice folks and you bet they could use the money to produce better software and make it available free to all. Wot say you all?
