Ms Office 2008 For Mac

March 23, 2008

Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac OS X is prettier than its predecessors. Fortunately,  the upgrade is more than skin deep.
While many parts of the suite’s component programs — Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Entourage — appear the same or are identical, new and reorganized features increase the suite’s utility. Notably, Word has graduated from word processing to true page layout on the Mac after decades of meager attempts. Office for Mac was rewritten between its last version in 2004 and release on this January, which was previewed in 2007.
Apple moved from IBM/Freescale PowerPC chips to Intel’s lineup, and Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Word and other large applications couldn’t simply have a switch thrown to perform at their best.
