+--- Thread: I am still using Office X (/showthread.php?tid=44260)
I am still using Office X - space-time - 11-28-2007
I have not upgraded to 2004 and also I don't plan to upgrade to 2008. Am I missing any breakthrough features or functionality?
Re: I am still using Office X - zachdog - 11-28-2007
Not really. Office 2004 is a bit more stable and allows for longer file naming. Other than that I can't tell any difference between the two. The only reason I plan on upgrading to 2008 is because it will be snappier on my Intel machines.

Ha, I thought I was the only one left on Office v. X! Actually, if you have an IPhone you are missing out. It doesn't play with Office X's address book...so I have to export my contacts to Address Book in order to get them on the iPhone. That's about the only disadvantage I can think of unless you're on Intel.
Re: I am still using Office X - space-time - 11-28-2007
no, I am not on intel. also I don't have an iphone. and don't use the office address book. I didn't even know it had one. where is it, in Entourage? I don't use it.
maybe the only reason to get 2008 is if I go intel (which I will do in about one year). How bad is office X under Rosetta?

Still using Office v.X here, too, but that may change soon -- I got in on that great BF deal for Office 2004 (only to get the cheap upgrade to Office 2008, though).
Re: I am still using Office X - deckeda - 11-28-2007
Yeah, I was going to say there will be several people here who will have Office 2004 available for sale ... sometime around mid-Dec.

should I mention that I never paid $0.01 to Microsoft?
the Office X software was a "gift" from the university. We got free software and the license said something like "students are allowed to keep the software for personal use when they leave the university".
Re: I am still using Office X - mrbigstuff - 11-28-2007
same here.
the Office X that I got was a supposed "trial" version with my iMac G4 lamp model. well, that was nearly 7 years ago... working fine!
Re: I am still using Office X - Zoidberg - 11-28-2007
Office v.X here as well. I will, however, be getting Office 2008.
Re: I am still using Office X - M A V I C - 11-28-2007
Office v.X here too. The employee store changed their policy regarding software usage, otherwise I would have upgraded by now. Longer file naming is an absolute must. I will be getting at least one upgrade copy of 2008. Too bad I missed out on the BF deal.
