Microsoft said that Office 2008 will come in three versions. The "core" version, Office 2008 for Mac, including all the applications plus Automator and Microsoft Exchange Server support, will cost USD 399.95, with a USD 239.95 upgrade price. Microsoft Office for Mac Home and Student Edition will allow three user licenses, but it won't include the Automator and Exchange Server support. It will cost USD 149.95 for the retail version, with no upgrade pricing announced. New to the lineup will be Office 2008 for Mac Special Media Edition, which will add Microsoft Expression Media for Mac, a revised version of the iView Media digital asset management utility. iView was acquired by Microsoft in 2006. This version will cost USD 499.95, with a USD 299.95 upgrade price.

It's nice to see how much money I will be saving because I don't buy Microsoft products. Between iWork and NeoOffice I only spent $79 plus tax and $320.95 (plus the different in taxes) to spend on other things. Or ... to put into savings.
PS: Nobody at work or at home can tell I don't use Microsoft products at all even though I share documents, spreadsheets, etc., with them.
PSS: Don't forget. If you think buying MS Office for Macs is more compatible because of scripts ... uh, the new version doesn't support visual basic. Oops.
