![]() In fact, at that point, I would have still bought Microsoft Office simply because I needed Excel. The only thing I was missing was an Excel replacement – so I kept Office Mac 2004 around. Instead of Entourage (Outlook for you Window users!) for calendaring, contact management and Email – I switched to Mail.app, Address Book, and iCal. I switched to native Apple apps all around. ![]() ![]() So anyway, I went out and bought iWork ’06. It was built for the old PowerPC architecture and so the underlying code was not optimized for zippier, more threaded architecture. However, I got frustrated after a bit by the sluggishness and the prone nature of Office 2004 to crash.įor those of you following along at home, this was because Office 2004 was never redone for Intel processors (or as we in Intel Mac world like to say, there was no Universal binary). I used the 30 day free trial and then bought a full license. When I made the switch, I was very much used to Office 2003 (I was coming from a Windows world!) so I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Mac Office 2004 was included on my new Macbook Pro. To this day, I feel confused when I go into Windows (XP or Vista) even though I used to support XP for Northrop Grumman. About a year and a half ago, I made the switch to Mac and I have not looked back.
