Announced at MacWorld, a new version of Office for the Macintosh will be available later this year. According to Microsoft, Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac will contain new “Mac-First, Mac-Only” features as well as a compatibility increase with Windows based counterparts. Office 2008 will sport a new UI which will give users access to Mac-specific features within applications resulting in a more Mac-like feel.

“For more than two decades, Microsoft has been committed to delivering quality and innovation on the Macintosh platform while retaining unparalleled compatibility with PCs,” said Roz Ho, general manager of the Mac BU at Microsoft. “Office 2008 is, by far, the most comprehensive, Mac-complementary productivity suite we’ve developed to date. I’ve witnessed firsthand the progression of this product, and am excited to think about the possibilities that soon will be available to our customers when Office 2008 launches later this year.”
