Microsoft Office:mac 2004 now has support until 2012
Joe is a seasoned Mac veteran with years of experience on the platform. He reports on Macs, iPods, iPhones and anything else Apple sells. Before joining CNET, he even worked in Apple's retail stores. He's also a creative professional who knows how to use a Mac to get the job done.
As for wrapping Office for Windows in with Microsoft Windows for Mac users, it is highly improbable. Windows is already too expensive. Even if it could be sold at a viable price, such a combo package would cannibalize Office for Mac sales. People who need to run Office on Windows will buy Office for Windows anyway - precisely because they need it. Now including an Office upgrade with a Windows 7 upgrade might be a good idea - for everyone, not just Mac customers. But I don't see Microsoft doing that. And such an upgrade would probably not work unless you already have a version of MS Office, just as the "affordable" Windows 7 upgrade won't work if you don't already have Vista or XP. Microsoft is funny that way.
