Summary: Not worth the premium price if you're not a corporation
Comment: I've been working with this edition of Office for Mac 2008 on one Mac, the digital media edition on another, and the plain 'ole Office for Mac 2008 on my laptop. Of the three, this edition is the last one I would choose again. The most useful thing I've found for my home business was the selection of templates for business use. They're more up-to-date, and are truly handy to have and have been put to use often. And they're just plain fun.
The feature that sets this apart is the Microsoft Office Exchange Server support. If you have a small business or home-based business, this may be an unnecessary feature. Some with small businesses may see the word "business" in the software title and think it's meant for all businesses. However, if you are in an Exchange Server environment, this is the way to go on your Macs.
Otherwise, it does have all the typical Office suite applications and they do work well on the Mac. The user interface changed with the 2008 editions but I've grown to really like the new look.
My suggestion to those outside a corporate or Exchange Server environment, buy the non-business edition and download free Office templates as needed online.

Summary: MS must do better.
Comment: Does not have as many features as the Windows version and like Windows crashes frequently. All a bit of a pain really.

Summary: Not ready for prime time
Comment: If your a serious office user, forget it. This products sucks. I would download open office for free until they update this. Don't get me wrong it's nice to have the easy compatibility but we've run into all sorts of issues in our accounting office using excel between this and office 2007. I'd suggest using office 2007 in Parallels before I'd buy this.

Summary: Installation Nightmare
Comment: By far the worst, most confusing software download I have ever seen in 30 years of dealing with computers. If you decide you have to have this software, do yourself a favor and call the help line right away. Don't follow the published directions.

Summary: Still Microsoft, not Mac.
Comment: I have to say I jumped on this when I saw it on Vine... speedy trigger finger! Probably should have passed on it as I acquired Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac in the November Vine issue, and it works fine in my use. This one is no different for me. It installs easily enough on my Apple Mac Pro MB871LL/A Desktop and the programs work. I haven't used the transfer capabilities.
As I said in my review of the Office 2008 for Mac, if you need this to do your work it's worth the expense. If not, there are other more Mac-friendly programs out there.
