Office 2008 for Mac now available for pre-order

The long wait is over: Office 2008 for Mac is now available for pre-order from Apple and Amazon, with a street release date of January 15th.

It seems like just yesterday that Microsoft was on stage at the 2006 Macworld keynote, reaffirming their commitment to making Microsoft applications for the Mac. At that time, Office 2004 was not a universal binary, and could only be run on Apple's new Intel machines through the Rosetta emulation layer.

Office 2008 will be a universal binary, and it looks to be a nice leap forward (as it should be, considering that it was almost four years in the making).
