I'll agree with this under the condition that we're talking about the most recent release of Office. Having had to wait 2 years for an Intel version of Office was disappointing. Office 2004 ran perfectly smoothly on my old iBook G4. But on a MacBook that otherwise should have run circles around that iBook, Office was nowhere near as responsive, and would often thrash the disk while trying to open documents.
