Eh. Until Mac Excel is bug-for-bug compatible with Windows Excel I don't see much reason to use Mac Office. The rest of the suite (and this is true on Windows, too) occupies a strange space between Google Docs and real typesetting tools like InDesign that I'm not sure is worth the money. And VBA doesn't work on OS X, making the few compatibility rasons harder to swallow.

It's hard to overemphasize how terrible Mac Excel is presently. I just installed this preview, and basically nothing is workable. I'm doing all my excel work via citrix presently onto my office computer. It's both faster, and doesn't crash my computer every couple minutes.
 
Time to install windows on this thing I guess.
