While the launch was delayed, Intel Mac owners will soon be able to get their hands on the newest iteration of Microsoft Office for Mac
. This release was the first version of Office written expressly for Intel Macs which will provide quite the speed bump for anyone that has invested in a new Mac over the past few years. A feature that has gotten some early buzz is a feature called My Day. My Day works with Entourage (Outlook to us Windows users) and allows the user to add tasks and appointments without having to open Entourage.
Mac users will have three options, starting with a $150 Home and Student edition that includes Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Entourage. The $400 (Upgrade is just $235) standard edition throws in Automator and Microsoft Server Exchange support. The top-of-the-line $500 (Upgrade $299) Special Edition includes Microsoft Expression Media, for managing a diverse array of media types.

As much as I love Office 07′, it’s amazing to see how simple Office 08′ as a product is.
3 quick flavors (a bazillion for Office 07′).
And the product box while rather plain looking, seems much easier to open than the fancy plastic box Office 07′ comes in.
Wished all MS units could understand how a product is presented to buy, is just as important as dealing with the product itself. Now if they could just do something about the outrageously high prices…
