Mac Users Can Try Office 2008 Free For 30 Days

Microsoft is giving Mac users the opportunity to try Office 2008 for Macs through a free trial. The trial is available after a free registration at Mactopia, the site for Microsoft related Mac products. The suite has been available for over a year, but Microsoft hopes that this will allow potential users to see what the software can do and hopefully entice them into purchasing it. The free trial will run for 30 days after which the user has two options if they decide to purchase the software. Users can go to an Apple reseller or purchase a key online. Office 2008 comes in different versions, with the cheapest being the Home and Student Edition for $149.95.

d3bruts1d on April 16, 2009 03:00AM Meh, I'll stick with OOo. I picked up Office 2008 for $20 through my companies Employee Purchase Program late last year. Installed it and only used it a few times. It was incredibly slow, and of course features the "ribbon toolbar" found in the Windows counterpart (Office 2007). After 5 months, I think I had used it all of a dozen times. Finally removed it. reply to this
