I know most people don't like to use it, but I have to use Powerpoint every day for my job. I really like the new Office preview version of it, but I find that it crashes almost constantly if I have more than one presentation open, even in the latest update. Is anybody else experiencing this or other bugs in the new Office they want to talk about?

We can talk about how when you select an object and paste, Powerpoint doesn't replace the object, but paste on top of it - frequently larger than the slide itself. I hate that. It doesn't crash much on Windows, though.
The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.

I am still having crashing bugs with Powerpoint preview, even with more recent updates. Argh. I really like the update but I just can't use it yet. Word has been solid. The scrolling issues I saw in Excel seem to be fixed.

This will get me to go to Office 365 when it is released if, of course, the PP bugs are worked out.
