[quote N-OS X-tasy!]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).
Ditto. And even though it was projected to ship after Christmas (which would have been too late for the $100 rebate), it shipped today!
Other than occasional Entourage wonkiness, I still haven't had any major problems with v.X--even in Leopard—but I'm not a heavy user. The only reason I got in on this was for the easy upgrade to 2008.
[quote Ammo]Doesn't the Office 2008 Media Edition come with some sort of image cataloger that is pretty highly regarded?
Yes. Expression Media is the Microsoft-branded version of iView Media Pro 3.0. Unfortunately, as a long-time iView user, I already have this after finally caving in and getting the 3.0 upgrade last year. It included a free upgrade to Expression Media when it was released, but I see no real difference other than gingerbready Microsoft cosmetic changes to the buttons.
The iView buttons were never my favorite in the first place, but I still prefer them to the Microsoft version. I still have both programs installed, and I usually use the iView version.
