Track Changes Dates Reset on Save As in Word 2008

If you regularly use the Save As feature to create new drafts while working in Word 2008, you might notice that with Track Changes enabled, previously time-stamped comments and edits have their times reset to the Save As date and time. Work around this by sticking with your original file, but using Save As (or just File > Duplicate in the Finder) to make backup copies.

So the big questions are:
Can the Mac version do all the things that the Windows version can?
Is it worth the upgrade?
Does it work well with apple Mail? (I tried twice, but it is so complicated to use that I never succeeded. Definitely not Mac-Li ke friendly Mail setup!)
