Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac

Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac was a version of the Microsoft Office suite that was developed by Microsoft and released for Mac OS X in January 2008. Though based on for Windows, some features are notably different or missing. Office 2008 is a universal binary that supports PowerPC and 32-bit Intel processors.

Development and release
Office 2008 was originally scheduled to be released in Fall 2007, but was delayed due to quality control issues and challenges stemming from Apple's transition to Intel processors. It was released on January 15, 2008 at the Macworld Expo in San Francisco. However, support for Visual Basic macros was not ported until Microsoft Office for Mac 2011, released in 2010.
