Microsoft Office v. X for Mac

Rating:
Summary: Not 100% Office Compatible!
Review: You would expect Office v. X by Microsoft to be compatible with Office XP and 2000.....but not. Although some simple Word, powerpoint files will cross platforms from MAC to PC, the translation is far from perfect.
In addition, on the Mac you can drop all kinds of multimedia video clips into powerpoint and they work great, but when you take your file to Office XP/2000 it will display a defying message stating there is no way it is going to display Quicktime content. So...I installed Quicktime on the PC. But guesswhat?! Powerpoint still doesn't display the video. Maybe the video clip is in the wrong format. So I purchased QuickTime PRO for Mac and converted the video clip to a million different formats and they still don't work.
There are problems with Office V. X by itself on the Mac (not the Macs fault). You can change fonts in PowerPoint and save your file, close, and reopen your file and all your fonts will revert back to Times Roman!!! So forget using lots of different fonts.
Word seems to work as expected, however it has some quirks with bullets used in word documents on the PC. All these bugs EVEN AFTER THE Service Pack 1 UPDATE! This software just [stinks]. Too bad alternatives are slow in coming. In the rumor mill some say Apple is redoing Apple works to integrate KeyNote (really nice...doesn't import Power Point very well though) and add Office file open/save compatibility.
