Excel for Mac 2008
Is Microsoft embittered by the exodus of business people to the Apple platform? Microsoft’s Mac Office takes 2 or 3 times as long to start and I regularly get this error when working with spreadsheets on my MacBook Pro with 4 GB of ram: 
The spreadsheet which triggered the error was only 10 columns and 20 rows. That’s a total of 200 cells and is far below the typical usage of spreadsheets in my office.Unfortunately this means I end up running Windows XP under Parallels so I can run Microsoft Office 2003 (the only currently usable version of office). All my macros, plugins, and documents work without memory error and run at 2x the speed. If you are evaluating whether or not to use Mac Office or use Parallels with Excel 2003, I strongly suggest the latter.
