For most of its life, Office for Mac has been a really good product. The places where it falls down in comparison are places where Office for Windows has an important feature that depends on a Windows API that the Mac devs simply cannot access.

I don't know, those early pre-intel days were really rough just on basic functionality.

These days it is much better for sure, and short of more serious suit and tie users like my dad it does just fine. But he still runs parallels just to have a Windows install so he can use Real Office (despite retiring years ago).

Both microsoft and apple had big "lalala only our formats and products exist" attitudes back then (which I feel they're a little better about now) so maybe that had something to do with it.
