If I had it to do over again, I wouldn¹t. However, my issues may be very user-specific; the loss of support for direct synching with Treo has changed my life for the much worse. I am still in limbo attempting to have one good PIM on my computer and another one mobile. Switching to iPhone doesn¹t replace the Treo functionality, and switching to iCal doesn¹t replace the Entourage functionality, and Sync Services makes sure I spend more time on administration than on use.
That¹s not the only issue for me, but it¹s the biggest. I am also extremely displeased with the slow speed of all the 2008 apps, although I admit I haven¹t yet tried Diane¹s latest suggestions about moving files around, and I will do so shortly. I am also still fighting with the changes that Office 2008 made to my preferences. I still can¹t get Word to behave the way it used to, and Excel isn¹t much better. I know I can spend a few hours and find all the changes, but this is the first experience I¹ve ever had where an upgrade reset so many preferences. Entourage does seem to crash less. Other than that, I can¹t personally recommend the upgrade.
