MrDee Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 The product will come in three flavors. The standard version, known simply as Office 2008 for Mac, includes PowerPoint, Word, Excel and Entourage and will sell for $399. A $499 Special Media Edition also includes Expression Media, a digital media cataloguing program that Microsoft acquired from its 2006 purchase of iView Multimedia. Both the Special Media Edition and the standard Office for Mac also include the ability to connect to an Exchange Server, as well as some actions for Automator, Mac OS X's built-in scripting tool.

sigxcpu Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 unfortunately, if you want to be 100% compatible with the world (which is a windows world), you have to buy msoffice, instead of crappy iwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDee Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 Hey Numberz, Even Apple recommends most Mac users stick with MS Office. If you are doing heavy exchange of files of files between Win Office users with complex formatting, then you are out of luck with iWork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUKKU Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 unfortunately, if you want to be 100% compatible with the world (which is a windows world), you have to buy msoffice, instead of crappy iwork. We'll see how compatible Office 08 is when someone sends you a document filled with Visual basic scripting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dainix Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Removing VBA scripting in the 2008 version? That makes the urge to buy it a worthless gesture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waradmin Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Well I will just wait until my University gets it and then it will only cost me < $10 (I got 2007 for $9 and 2004 for $6). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
