I hate comments like "That is completely-no-but-it-is-twenty-years-that I used it." Honestly, Office 2008 (I speak especially of Word and PowerPoint I use a lot) is not badly managed, with two flats still, depending on the use that is made of: 1) Lack of support for VB macros. It is not moreover they announce anything back to this support in Office 2010 ... 2) A serious bug concerning those who stick OLE objects style ChemDraw drawings: the original format is lost once you have pasted the object. In this sense, it is better to stay on Office 2004.
