I recommend sticking with the other packages of MS Office for Mac. Most people just need Word or Excel.
You may want to know the difference between this and standered edition “Entourage’s Exchange support: Student/Home edition only supports IMAP. Business edition has web services (connects via OWA) and syncs properly”
Be excellent!

I’m not sure it’s fair to call this a review. I purchased this product because, for various reasons I will not mention here lest the Microsoft police come after me, I wanted to install new Office software on my Mac. However, when I received this upgrade and saw how much space it would take up, I decided against it. The only Office application I use anymore is Word. That’s because the Apple counterpart, Pages, still has to be exported to Word in order to send e-mail attachments (which as a writer/editor I do regularly), and, while overall I like Pages better, I discovered the hard way that currently it does not auto-save. Otherwise, I prefer Numbers to Excel for my spreadsheets, and I don’t have occasion to use any other Office applications.
So, take this for what it is, Mac users. I hesitate to take up a lot of space on my laptop for something I don’t really need.

I thought this was the actual suite, not the upgrade, I have the regular MAC edition, so I thought I would upgrade to the business edition, but I picked the wrong product.
Unless I get the initial business version, this upgrade will be useless to me.

We’ve had no problem with the installation or use of the Microsoft Office for Mac 2008 Business Edition Upgrade and I’d especially recommend it to businesses who can benefit from the Microsoft Office Exchange Server support. I have many clients who are not Mac based and with this upgrade, documents are now easily shared without conflict or alteration. Although many complain about Microsoft and its products, I’m a fan of Office for Mac and really like this business edition. For me, it’s intuitive and offers more options without making me feel overwhelmed by products I don’t use. I also enjoy discovering new uses for the components and must admit that I’m still experiencing hours of education (and entertainment) as I learn more about the program. It’s a winner for me.

If you have used MS Office in the past, it will take you a while, to navigate through all applications again. Unlike a lot of people, I’ve always been an admirer of Microsoft products. Granted, they tend to be expensive, overpriced even, but they typically do what they’re intended to do with an honest amount of ease. The design templates is a plus for me because it made my simple office requirements much more efficient and stress free. Furthermore, the Menus have been replaced with tabs, but unlike to the Windows version of Office 2007 and 2008, you still have the familiar ‘pull down menus’.
Aside from that the 2008 version of Office for Mac is more of the same the familiar suite of office programs with some spiffed up new features only it suffers from the problem that causes many users to loathe Microsoft: instability. The program is generally reliable, but it still had enough problems like all software, including an overall slowness, to be frustrating for me.
I like the features, like the ease of use. But overall I kept wishing that the platform was just a small more stable. I have to say that “Microsoft Office for Mac 2008 Business Edition upgrade” is worth buying and if you already have the 2004 version I think the upgrade is worth it, too.
