Microsoft's popular 2008 Office suite
Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac is the premiere office suite for users on both Mac and Windows. Although it has now been superseded by Microsoft Office for Mac 2011, Microsoft Office 2008 still remains a fantastic office suite.
It's hard to know where to start when describing everything that Microsoft Office 2008 has to offer but highlights include the professional templates in Word’s Publishing Layout View, OfficeArt tools which offer reflections, color themes, and 3D tools. You also get impressive visual charts and diagrams you can create with SmartArt and integrate with any of the suite's packages. Word is still the best and most intuitive word processing application out there in my mind and Excel remains popular with business professionals due to its power and formula creation possibilities.
As regards Microsoft Office 2008's presentation tools, Powerpoint doesn't really measure up to the glossy cinematic effects available in Keynote but it's so widely used and still produces superb results that it's excellent for team collaborations. Entourage, meanwhile, offers many possibilities for managing projects, personal schedules and offers integration with Exchange, and remains an essential component of Microsoft Office 2008.
Although many Microsoft products don't successfully translate onto Mac, Microsoft Office 2008 is certainly an exception.

I liked using the trial. Trial ends at 30 days..
About the trial version mentioned - v.12.2.2 ; will now have to download, install update 12.2.8 (333MB) from Microsoft.
Product Key is on page that eventually reach with .dmg to download on it.I liked using the trial. In the 30 days I mostly converted complete htmls to pdfs. A breeze.
Pros:
Updated version here, no need for large updates.
Truly a work of the gods.
Cons:
Trial ends at 30 days, know of no extensions. Good luck finding the 2008 trial now that 2011 is out. More

No product key available!.
Not only can I not obtain a trial product key through the above mentioned web link, the trial version of Office seems unavailable to users in Australia, full-stop! I'm prepared to go and purchase the product if I can actually try it out, but if you won't let me give it a go, I'll keep my cash and continue on with 2003. More
