Microsoft Office for Mac 2008 Hits January 15 with $US150 Home Version
7:00PM Wilson Rothman | There’s no better sign of Microsoft’s increasing acceptance of the Mac population than the latest version of Office for Mac 2008, the first Office with native support for Intel-based Macs. Like its Mac-side predecessors, this Office has its own interface and tools, many which aren’t found on the PC. But whatever you use to create your PowerPoint presentation or Word doc, it will be 100% compatible with the 2007 PC Office edition. We’ve known it was coming for a while but now it’s officially en route, hitting most retail outfits on January 15th at three key prices. We’ve been playing with the beta for a few weeks, too, and so far it’s a smooth ride. More »Apple’s posted a 30-day iWork ‘08 trial for …

iLife 08, iWork 08, good local pricing
8:58AM Seamus Byrne | We’ve seen a few issues with local pricing of late, where the weakness of the US dollar seems to have no impact on what we have to pay for our new gear. So it’s nice to see Apple taking a far better approach than most. The iMac pricing isn’t TOO bad on the conversion differential, but the new software lines hit the sweet spot.
US price, $79 single / $99 5-pack. AU price, $99 single / $129 5-pack.
Go grab it here.
Kudos to Apple on that one. I’ve often felt the iLife package has been a killer feature for Apple, and most who use it agree. The addition of Numbers to the iWork pack should see it take a much more serious seat at the table now for most Apple users too. $129 for a 5-user licensed productivity suite? Could this help extend Apple into more small offices? -Seamus Byrne More »
