Are any mac users here going to buy the new MS Office?

Soon I'm going to help get OpenOffice on one of my friends laptops, a Mac. Does anyone know if it's very hard to get going?

Anyway Open Office is good, just out of beta so some improvements are still needed. However it beats the shit out of Office 11 pseudo-xml, it on the other hand writes proper xml.

I found a good screenshot.... was gonna install it but it was a 120MB download.

now first off... see how MS Word is not AntiAliased... well normally it is... this is before apple updated the Carbon Anti Aliasing capability... this is OS X 10.1... way old. Now you see Open Office, in panther it will look exactly like that except the window decoration will be the standard OSX window decoration.
I'm sorry, it would be an embarrassment to open something that ugly on my OSX system.

thats not good enough for me. For me to be happy it has to work Mac style. Ultra Stable, Ultra Easy, Ultra Sexy (Pretty if you prefer the term), and depending on the App ultra compatible (office apps are one of those kinds of apps)

I'm a Mac user myself, but all that just sounds Ultra Stupid . . .
