qbattersby Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hey Everyone After browsing around on my favorite mac torrent site "ShatteredRocks" (wink wink) today I noticed a retail release of Office for Mac:2008 Student & Teacher edition. Although no serials are available yet it is still some good news and something lots of people have been waiting for. I am certainly excited to get rid of the buggy beta for a little bit less buggy retail release. Oh Microsoft! LOL! To be specific this is the name: Microsoft Office 2008 Home & Student edition - 2008 Retail [uB] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostgame Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Dude, it's a patched beta. Leaked on C4M too, confirmed as not final. Sorry, you fail. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apowerr Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I am certainly excited to get rid of the buggy beta for a little bit less buggy retail release. You're just replacing the beta with the beta Don't worry, we'll have RTM Office 2008 soon enough . After using Office 2007 in Windows, iWork 2008 just seems like {censored} (in my opinion.).

qbattersby Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 Well then, my apologies, I had just noticed it, perhaps I should've waited for it to complete to confirm. Thanks for the info though. erei33>> did you mean iWork 2008 just seems like "{censored}"? Because in my opinion as well I agree in comparison to Office 2007 (the only reason I have parallels installed). EDIT!! Actually now that I think about it, how could it be a patched beta? People in the forum on "BS" stated they don't have a key to install it therefore how can it be confirmed......!!?? lostgame>> Therefore, you FAIL.

CLiDE FTW!!1 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I'm waiting on a serial, too EDIT: I can confirm that the MSN Messenger that is bundled with Office 2008 is nothing new. Same old boring, useless Messenger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qbattersby Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 Yea I dont plan on using Messenger, I'm strictly an Adium kinda guy. Well really I havent found anything better, although I am open to suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabron Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 the optmizing font menu still takes forever to open here (1gig ram d'oh) well, but the menus are faster and more responsible than "beta" Ill have to use this more and check the horsepower by doing some serious job in it to see if its will fail or not. Edit: nevermind, the optimizing font menu is take forever just on the first launch, now its faster as satan and also the font scrolling is much better, hard to believe but looks like ms have done a great job in it.

qbattersby Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 LOL, I tried to be nonchalant about the location and all. Glad to see the serial is available, now I just need to get rid of the beta and install the new and see how it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
