office 2008 for mac download full version

Update: The Mac Mojo blog post is now live here. Microsoft promises further details about the 30-day trial on the Mac BU blog sometime later today, though an update has not yet appeared there. The Home and Student Edition is quite a bit cheaper at $150 for the full version (no upgrade), though it doesn't contain Exchange capabilities that the other versions have. The full version of Office 2008 for Mac (Standard Edition) runs just under $400 with the upgrade going for $240. In case you're wondering what the Ars take on Office 2008 is, you can check out our thoughts in our first look review. Thirty days is a decent amount of time to test out a productivity suite, too, so you should be able to get a feel for all the changes since the last version of Mac Office. This means that if you decide you like Office 2008, you can upgrade directly to the Home & Student Edition or Standard Edition, and you can do so via download or from a local retailer. Microsoft's Mac BU made the fully-functional trial available on its website today, noting that the trial version is convertible to a full version of the product at any time. The closest thing to a free version of Microsoft Office on Mac is Apple’s iWork which includes Pages, Numbers and Keynote. Those who want to try out Office 2008 for Mac but don't want to fork over hundreds of dollars just yet can now use a 30-day trial of the software.
