I've unchecked WYSIWYG fonts and Project Gallery with no appreciable speed bump. Anyone had any luck making the sucker open faster? Word 2008 takes forever to load especially on my old PowerBook.

Interface reloads whenever bringing app back to front. Very annoying behavior. Interrupts work flow by causing multi-minute pauses while I wait for MS Word or MS Excel to "unfreeze" and accept input.

I'm glad your first impressions of Word 2008 are good - the team worked really hard to make Word 2008 (and the entire suite) a really great Mac experience. Hi David - I was “The guy” :-).
