The software is not "useless"...unless you order it without bothering to read the System Requirements.

It's pretty rude to give a piece of software one star because you, as the purchaser, were too clueless to make certain it was compatible with your Mac before you ordered it.

The System Requirements (and there is a link to the full requirements in the listing) clearly state this version is for "Any PowerPC processor-based, Mac OS compatible system (at least 120 MHz recommended)"

NOT Intel processors. All new Macs come with Intel processors.

Anyone who uses a computer - REGARDLESS of the operating system, so I include Windows users here - should know enough to make certain the software is compatible with both their OS AND their hardware before buying it.

Only older, no-longer-manufactured Macs have PowerPC processors.
Also, this is Office 98....that's 1998 folks. This is 2011. Do you always order the 13-year-old version of a program for your new computer?
Also, the specs indicate this is for System 7 and up, meaning it's a Classic Application - meaning it won't work with ANY version of OS X.

Sorry, but the one-star review of this software is what's worthless. Maybe buyers could start reviewing the actual applications...and Amazon could start removing reviews that provide no helpful information at all, but instead only prove the buyer screwed up?

I have an iMac that has system 9.2 on it. It used to have Office 98 word, until a somewhere down the line one of our students dragged it to the trash can. I was glad to find this program for a relatively cheap price to load it back in.

Probably would work fine with older Macs, but not my new one (Leopard system). Useless.
