Microsoft has released the first service pack to Microsoft Office:Mac 2008. The company also said that sales of Office:Mac 2008 have "soared", and that it is "selling faster than any previous version of Office for Mac in the past 19 years". Microsoft also had a surprise announcement about Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) support.

Isn't it interesting that when OpenOffice.org 3.0 Beta appears natively on Mac OS X, and contains a basic VBA support, there is Microsoft announcing VBA support to reappear in Microsoft Office after adamantly declaring that it won't appear in it because it would be too complex.
What is Microsoft scared of? an Office suite such as OpenOffice.org which spans Windows, Mac OS X and *NIX; a uniform office experience where, no matter which platform it is run, you will get the same level of support.
Compare that with Office 2008 where major chunks of Office functionality are missing when compared to their Windows counter part.
