Dear all,
inspired by Clive Huggan's post in microsoft.public.mac.office.word:
for those of you wondering how Office 2004 performs on the new Intel Macs,
have a look at the following MacTECH article:

Since this newsgroup focuses on Entourage, here's an interesting excerpt
from that article:

from that article:
At the other end of the spectrum, Entourage was not only on par, it was faster
in many cases than our PowerPC baseline. In fact, with the exception of
launching the application, Entourage was faster across the board on the Intel
iMac, while the MacBook Pro was about on par with the PowerBook G4 (slightly
faster in some cases, slightly slower in others).
[...]
Entourage is clearly the best performer in the suite, presumably because
Entourage is the most modern code base of the Office 2004 suite, and because
it relies the most on Mac OS X technologies that have already been made
Universal.
The end result is that, across the board, Entourage under Rosetta performed
terrifically. The MacBook Pro usually performed as good or better than the
PowerBook. The Intel iMac was faster in almost every test.
