Mac Office 2008 SP2 Can't Open Some Files

Microsoft has finally acknowledged that Mac Office 2008 SP2 doesn't work, and that a fix will be released 'in August'.

The problem is that .xlsx, .pptx, .docx, etc files, do not work in some instances (quite many instances in my experience). This is extremely annoying since Office doesn't come with a roll-back feature. Not only that, but this is supposed to be a stability release, not the exact opposite.

Here's their mea culpa.

I've used another work around than the ones they list: Numbers from iWork 09.
