 Microsoft Corp said it will release three versions of its Office 2008 for Mac suite in January.

1. Office 2008 for Mac Home and Student Edition, which includes three licenses for Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Entourage, an e-mail/calendar/contacts program, will cost $150, Microsoft said.

2. A $400 version aimed at professionals who use Apple Inc. computers, simply called Office 2008 for Mac, includes the same programs as Home and Student, plus the ability to connect to a Windows Exchange server.

3. The third version, the $500 Special Media Edition, adds features to the $400 configuration, including Expression Media, a program that helps computer users organize and manipulate digital photos, video and other files.

All three versions work on Intel-based Macs and older PowerPC machines.

    My friend was crying when he heard this since he just got a Mac with the older versions…and had to return his three times which is weird for a machine that’s supposed to be less of a hassle than a PC. He actually had a “dead pixel” on his which I never heard of lol.
