After a series of delays,
Microsoft released
Office for Mac 2008 to brick-and-mortar and online stores on January 15, making this the first update in nearly four years.
Office for Mac 2008 includes
Word,
Excel for spreadsheets,
PowerPoint for presentations and Entourage for e-mail and time management. There's no
Microsoft Access database application for the Mac, although
Filemaker's upcoming release of
Bento offers Mac users a new choice.
Unlike
Microsoft Office 2007, the interface changes don't look radically foreign next to the 2004 edition. That's good news for anyone who doesn't want to relearn the locations of common functions. The 2007 applications for Windows arrange functions within tabs, while the 2008 Mac software largely clusters functions within the same drop-down menus including File, Edit, and View.
