Meh, I'd rather keep my Microsoft stuff shoved in a separate box. Like Parallels running Windows XP, then plop a copy of Office 2007 inside it. I feel dirty as it is.
I have an iMac with 8GB of RAM and I can't believe how crappy Office 08 runs
However, in our experience, the other office suites (OO, AbiWord, etc...) can't produce the documents we need in .doc format without formatting issues.
What a piece of *!%&* MS Office is.
ugh
I have the 2008, I don't see much benefit in getting this "new" version.
(why did they keep the 2008 for this new version?)
Is this MacRumors or MSRumors? MS stories sure are dominating the front page today......
And to vrillusions: NeoOffice > OpenOffice
MS knows it's 2009 right?
Microsoft today announced that it has begun shipping Office 2008 for Mac Business Edition, replacing the previous Standard Edition and Special Media Edition with a single package offering the complete Office suite with support for Microsoft Exchange included.Office 2008 for Mac Business Edition carries a recommended retail price of $399.95 for the full version and $239.95 for an upgrade version. The existing Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac Home and Student Edition, which offers the basic Office components but lacks a number of advanced features, continues to be offered at a suggested retail price of $149.95.
When are they going to do some serious updates on MSN??? I can't freaking believe it. It's been so long.
Shhh! It's all part of their "Roll Back the Millennium" marketing plan. They hope to recapture the glory days of Windows 95!
Our office admins use clipart for every notification they send out.
I had hoped it would include a MS Access or something similar.
I don't have to deal with Access too much at my job, but enough to ask, is there software that opens an Access Database? Just curious.
$399.95!!!!!!!!!
It also should either have a better Mac experience or just copy Office 2007. It is neither.
That is a lot of editions for a simple group of Apps.
$399.95 for an office suite ???? This is embarrassing
Can you say VISTAAAAAAAAA or SEEEVEEEN!!!???
