I don't use the Office suite much at all, but my wife certainly does. And Office 2008 looks so nice on a Mac, I really must admit.

However, when she launches Excel, most of the time it just beachballs on her. If it manages to launch without crashing or hanging, she can't work in it for long before it does crash. Word is the same way. Its actually difficult to ForceQuit the apps, as the Finder gets hung for a while during all of this. What a p.o.s.

Now, we can always go Open Office, iWork, etc. but wouldn't you think Microsoft's flagship software suite outside of an OS would actually work? The 12.0.1 update was supposed to fix hanging and crashing, but guess what... it didn't.

I don't think its too much to ask to get a working software. How did QA let this out the door? I'm seeing tons of people via Google having the same problems... and switching to other things.
