CNET Editors' review - Microsoft Office for Mac 2008 (Home and Student Edition)
Hide

Very good

7.8

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 7.8 out of 10
Reviewed by Elsa Wenzel
Review date: 1/7/08
Release date: 1/15/08

The good: Microsoft Office for Mac 2008 offers good looks that encompass deeper features than other Mac productivity software; business users get full Word mail merge, robust Excel spreadsheets, and better tools in Entourage; amateur desktop publishing features more polished documents; runs on Intel-based Macs.

The bad: Microsoft Office for Mac 2008 is pricey; saves work in new file formats by default; Excel drops Visual Basic support; features don't match the depth of those in Office 2007 for Windows.

The bottom line: Office for Mac 2008 may be the best pick for business users, but most people can get by with less costly alternatives.
