Mac Office 2008 Benchmarks



MacTech benchmarks the new Mac Office 2008 and provides the following conclusion:

In general, Office 2008 is faster than Office 2004 when run on Intel Macs. And, on the PowerPC (represented by our PowerBook G4), it certainly runs "well enough" albeit marginally slower.


Microsoft hosted a day-long conference on the new Office 2008. Attendees will reportedly receive a free copy of Office.

I can't wait for it to trickle down to volume licensees. I'm still working with some really old G4s since some users don't budge and use their grant money.

I'll more then likely be using Office 2004 and 2008 on my department installations for some time.

That graph doesn't make sense.

It looks like 2008 runs better on a G4 than on Intel. What's the percentage represent ?

I'm quite pleased with Office 2008 and I'd have upgraded to it even without MS' "SuperSuite" deal incentive.
