Microsoft Office for Mac 2008 Hits January 15 with $US150 Home Version

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.

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.
