QUOTE(erymanthus @ Aug 31 2012, 02:58 PM) Thanks, I googled about it and read the same thing that Microsoft Office 2011 will look blurry on Retina MBP. Sigh.... I also found out from Machines sales assistant that if you export document created in Pages to Word doc format, you cannot amend in a Windows PC Word software and transfer back to Pages? Is that right? Did u guys know that theres a workaround to force office to render in retina...it aint perfect as u need to minimize and maximize to se the effect once. The icon doesnt improve much but the text is rendered in retinaand super clear...as oppose to the ugly text without the mod...

QUOTE(BRY7 @ Sep 1 2012, 01:11 AM) I have tried Word, Excel and Powerpoint; and they all work great with this trick. The only thing is you need to minimize-and-maximize the window every time to enable the Retina-version

Just copy the application back to launchpad once you edited the programme Added on September 2, 2012, 10:45 pmFor those of you looking for a photo viewing software like Picasa image viewer, please check out, Sequential, it is simple just lacking the zoom scrolling version of picasa but instead to press +,- This post has been edited by Victor3010: Sep 2 2012, 10:45 PM

guys, do you have any heat problems with the retina macbook pro? i notice that, while surfing+downloading+watching you tube...i feel slight warmth on the top left side of my keyboard...up to uncomfortable to touch...but i didn't hear the fan kicking in...the problem is worse in windows 7 bootcamp, in idling state...that area is hot to touch, let alone gaming..yet still couldnt hear the cooling fan kick in..
i know that apple improve the nvh so much, but the heat is kind of annoying..previously i used macbook air 2010 both in mac osx and bootcamp and never come upon such problem....any ideas?
will install istat and look in to the details...
