Edit: Oh, never mind, you meant the one you posted today. For some reason I was thinking you meant the first post of this thread.  |
I've been following this thread with interest for a while, but today was my first post

I don't mean Rosetta Stone. I mean Rosetta, the mac software that allows you to run powerPC apps on an Intel box. Apparently, I need it to run Office 2008. I got it to work by finding Rosetta on the Mac installation CD (under optional packages) and installing it manually and then running the Office installer.

No, I've been able to workaround all the issues myself. The only time I considered it was for the constant hanging issue. This is what lead to the OS update (and subsequent kernel panic). After a second attempt at installing the update, it seemed to fix my hanging issue.

Well since I have Office now, I don't care too much about Mail anymore. Entourage can sync with my Exchange-based calendar whereas Mail/iCal can not, so its a much better option for me. Entourage was crashing like mad at the beginning too FWIW, but since I updated it with the latest service packs, it's been pretty solid.
