  • Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac

    Microsoft plans to release Office for Mac 2008 on January 15, making this the first update in about four years. We've tested beta versions of the new applications over the last month without running into glitches.

  • Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional

  • Microsoft Office Outlook 2007

    If you work with Microsoft Outlook on a daily basis, this upgrade can make scheduling simpler and e-mailing more interesting. Still, we wish Instant Search and e-mail rendering were better.

  • Microsoft PowerPoint 2007

  • Microsoft Excel 2007 RTM
