Microsoft Office 2008
At some point in the last week, I made the mistake of installing Microsoft Office 2008 on my Mac.
This is the first version of Office designed to run natively on Intel-based Macs, and I figured that regardless of anything else, it would be an improvement over how Microsoft Office 2004 ran on my Mac. I was wrong. It's still slow. And it's still crashy.
I'm starting to feel about Microsoft Office like I feel about taxes.
I wish that it didn't exist.
I can't help but feel on some level that my life would be a lot better if it didn't exist.
I understand the need for it, but I resent having to deal with it, and feel like it makes my life more complicated and less satisfying just by being there.
