MacDailyNews Take: Do you really need Microsoft Office? Give Apple’s free 30-day iWork ’08 trial a try and find out for yourself.
So, Office sucks a little bit less now.
@Micro Me,
Yeah, it did. They list that as one of the improvements.
@Chuckles,
No fair! You’ve got the inside scoop!
160 MB download. Ugh.
According to Mactopia, the dl will take 13 hours 21 minutes. I wouldn’t bother if I was still using a modem.
I attempted to install 12.1.2 and the installer said it couldn’t find an appropriate copy of the subject program…
Doh! I had to download 12.1.1 update, which also comes in at a whopping 153 MBs!
Dollars to donuts, the bulk of the update consists of clip art.
