Office 2008 for Mac delayed

By Adityan B. Ramkumar at 1:06 AM

Sorry Macboys. You’ll have to wait a bit longer for your beloved platform to get the newest version of Microsoft’s Office software. The software will be launched only in mid-January 2008 after it’s released to manufacturing in December.

Apparently, the delay is due to a “perfect storm” of factors that hampered the development process. At least that’s what the head of the Mac Business Unit, Craig Eisler is saying. But the good news is that Office 2008 will support many features that Office 2007 for Windows has and will use the same Open XML format for ease of compatibility between both platforms.
