*Microsoft Office 2008* is the premiere office suite for users on both Mac
and Windows. Although it has now been superseded by Microsoft Office 2011,
Microsoft Office 2008 still remains a fantastic office suite. Note that this
demo of Microsoft Office 2008 has now been removed by Microsoft and replaced
with a demo of Office 2011. It's hard to know where to start when describing
everything that Microsoft Office 2008 has to offer but highlights include the
*professional templates* in Word's Publishing Layout View, *OfficeArt
tools* which offer reflections, color themes, and 3D tools. You also get
impressive visual charts and diagrams you can create with *SmartArt* and
integrate with any of the suite's packages. Word is still the best and most
intuitive word processing application out there in my mind and Excel remains
popular with business professionals due to its power and formula creation
possibilities. As regards Microsoft Office 2008's presentation tools,
Powerpoint doesn't really measure up to the glossy cinematic effects
available in *Keynote* but it's so widely used and still produces superb
results that it's excellent for team collaborations. Entourage, meanwhile,
offers many possibilities for managing projects, personal schedules and
offers integration with Exchange, and remains an essential component of
Microsoft Office 2008. *Although many Microsoft products don't successfully
translate onto Mac, Microsoft Office 2008 is certainly an exception.*Download
