Very important, if you use Excel Basic macros, do not upgrade, as this was dropped in 2008. There was so many complaints that MS said they would return the capability in the 2010 version. I hope testers are seeing this to be the case.
My wish, MS please do not design Mac Office 2010 around the infamous 'ribbon' that was put into the Windows Office 2007 version. What a horrendous waste of time to master for no obvious value. I imagine that hundreds of thousands of hours of time have been expended while people try to figure out where everything has been moved!!! I've never read any review that suggests anything was gained by this monstrous idea (other than the huge profit MS raked in as Enterprise after Enterprise paid the entry fee for a 'new' version). >> >>> Interesting comments.
