Why do we "hate" Microsoft Office so much?

BUGS....

Everything on my mac runs fine – except Mircorsoft Office. It is the only set of apps on my computer that systematically crash during certain tasks, as well as being bugged to the point that I often try to avoid using it.

I've actually not had all that many problems with Office, at least not compared to most other programs. Then again, I don't really use all of the advanced features. But Office does what I ask of it and doesn't crash too much. In fact, the only program where I have anything approaching a crash problem is Safari, but that's something for another thread.

I must admit, Office is is the only application on my Mac that has ever "unexpectedly quit" more than once, but it has only happened a select few times over the past couple of years, so is nothing that really bothers me. Relative to my other Mac apps though, I suppose it does have the poorest track record.

i use neooffice and pages, neo is to ram hungry but it was free so, only use it when i must. Pages rocks. I think the reason some( like me) hate it is becuz of the bad memorys of windows they had, or how is stand for how MS controls so much of the computer world( and how apple does not)
