Source? I've actually heard that the company used its format that Microsoft stole, and is in fact a real company, not just there to sue big companies. In fact there are many internal documents of Microsoft showing that employees knew of the patent and chose to ignore it hoping they wouldn't get caught.

Yup, you're right. I don't have printed proof to confirm, but was mentioned Paul Thurrott in the most recent Windows Weekly podcast.
 
Office 2008? v.X is fine for me

For anyone still using ppc, v.X works great in Leopard. 2004 & 2008 are just a waste for most users.
 
2004 WORKS under snow leopard with Rosetta

Can anyone report whether Office 2004 works on Leopard?

(Sorry, but I'm still using my 12" PowerBook - upgrading Mac & OS next week!)

I did an inplace upgrade to snow leopard on my imac running leopard with Office 2004 and it actually runs BETTER and faster than before. I used to get delays in scrolling before but seamless now.

Good to see Microsoft cares about Apple and Mac OS X. ;)

I wonder what would happen if MS ever decided to stop making MS Office for the Mac. With almost everyone that I've helped switch over to Apple computers, being able to use Word and Excel has been one of their biggest concerns.

Sounds like M$ isn't used to being in the passenger seat when it comes to app development, being an O/S maker themselves. It's the third party's job to rework their software to compatability with the O/S, not the O/S maker's job to bend to the application developer's will.

As microsoft says it, they used a correct implementation of an apple window type that apple didn't think of when implementing spaces. Sounds pretty fair to me.

So, I must say, it is a real pleasure having spaces work for office- probably my favorite thing I've noticed about snow leopard so far.
 
It's great to see that they fixed the issue with Office, but even better than that, they fixed the issue with Spaces and YouTube!

If I'm watching a video fullscreen on Youtube, and need to check something else, I usually hit F8 to zoom out to my spaces...problem was, when you got back to the browser window, the video would restart.

Thankfully that hasn't happened AT ALL. Nice job, Apple!
 
I'm glad Office 2008 will work on SL with out problems. Though I am not forced to use Word anymore, I have come to love the Notebook page layout and all its functions for taking notes in class.

Is it just me, or did anyone else have a problem with notebook view? It kept crashing every time I tried to create a new page or convert an existing page.

I just upgraded Flash and it seemed to fix the problem.
