"Office for Mac 2008" on the Microsoft "Home Use Program"????

[Matt]

When will "Office for Mac 2008" be available to the "Home Use Program"? Thanks...

All flavors of Office 2008 were released today, including the Home & Student
package... What do you mean by "Home Use Program"?

Home Use Program (HUP) is a program MS has with some companies that provides copies to the company's employees for just S&H (i.e. $19.95).

Right now they offer Office X and the "current version" Office 2004. I am checking every day to see if Office 2008 is added... I'm not sure if it is something the company has to arrange per some agreement, or whether MS should just alter the program to account for the "current version."

Best bet is for your company to call their MS rep.

That's what I thought, but didn't want to speculate In teh meantime I see
John has clarified that for you.

I'm waiting too. I tried e-mailing Microsoft and they sent me here. At least I got a reply!

Perhaps if enough people use the product feedback page on this site something will happen?

There is discussion of this subject here:

the latest reply from MS seems to be "no later than April 2008."
