Just Got Office 2008 and have Some ?s

I would unsintall 2004 first, but "normally" you "should" be fine. Backup before you do anything, just in case

@benlee - I work for Microsoft in Expression marketing. Expression Media is used to manage digital assets such as documents, presentations, spreadsheets, clip-art, fonts, images, videos, sounds, etc - most files that you would typically work with. It is designed to catalog, organize and let you find them. Expression Media used to be called iView MediaPro, which we acquired in 2006, and is widely used on both Mac and Windows.
The reason that it is part of Office 2008 for Mac Special Media Edition is that we believe that there are many Office users who are creative professionals and have the need to quickly and easily import, organize, search, annotate, repurpose and archive digital files.
MacWorld recently reviewed Expression Media 1, and you can read their review here: http://www.macworld.com/article/132250/2008/02/expressionmedia.html?t=230

Version 2 of Expression Media will be out soon and as an Office 2008 for Mac Special Media Edition customer, you will be able to obtain this new version for free by downloading it from us after June 1st.

David.

if you are on an intel mac, there will be a marked performance increase vs 2004. also be sure to install the updates.
