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.

Office 2008 for Mac shares a new graphics engine with Office for
Windows(R). Office Art 2.0 provides users with the ability to add
professionally designed graphics with a simple click of a button. Like the
2007 Microsoft Office system and its new user interface (UI) with the
Ribbon, Office 2008 has its own new UI that introduces Elements Gallery, a
feature that emphasizes discoverability and gives users quick access to
tools and Mac- specific features within applications in a visually
appealing, simple way. Both features leverage Mac OS capabilities to retain
a Mac-like look and feel users are familiar with while taking advantage of
new technologies.
