LaptopMag has published a review of Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac Special Media Edition here on their website. Special Media Edition is one of three different Office 2008 versions. The other two versions are Office 2008 for Mac Home and Student Edition and Office 2008 for Mac. The basic differences are as follows. Office 2008 for Mac Home and Student Edition comes with Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Entourage. Office 2008 for Mac adds Microsoft Server Exchange Support and Automator Actions for Workflows in Microsoft Office. Finally, Special Media Edition adds Microsoft Expression Media tot the mix. Here’s what LaptopMag thinks of the new edition for the Mac platform:

Office for Mac 2008 Special Media Edition is an excellent work suite geared toward power users who will delve into every feature and explore every nook and cranny of the robust package. Casual users who don’t want to shell out $499 could make do with the $149 Student and Home Edition or the very capable (and more wallet-friendly) $79 iWork ‘08. We are left wondering, though, why Microsoft doesn’t make such a fun and visually appealing suite for Windows users.
