Office 2008
I can't believe that people are complaining about Macros. It has been known for quite some time that the office 08 would not include macro support. Besides being a huge security hazard, it is slowly being phased out in the windows version.
MacBU stated that it would take a long time to port macros over to Xcode. This is due to the large amount of PPC assembly code used in the lexar and interpreter.
The one thing I am most disappointed with in the new 08 release is that Entourage still has a monolithic mail database. This has 4 huge disadvantages to it.
1. If it gets corrupted, then you might loose your entire mail collection.
2. If you save a lot of mail messages the program could get slower (large pst file)
3. Spotlight can't index it
4. Time machine backups the whole mail file every time you make a modification to your mail
