Will there be a demo?

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: intel

I have looked everywhere for an answer, hopefully someone here knows.
Office 2004 for mac does not work with our server at work, there is no way we would buy 2008 without being sure it will run on our network.
Will there every be a demo or should i just go with parallels?

A test drive version is quite likely, and my guess is that it will only be a
matter of time before it is made available for download. That being said,
keep in mind that this is only idle speculation, and I may be wrong.

Hi,

It's most likely that eventually there will be a test drive or demo of some
sort. For all of the recent versions of Office they have produced one,
although as the ads say, "past performance is not always an indication of
future performance."

Concerning Office 2004, what does "does not work" mean? What kind of
server? Do you get an error message when you try to do something? If you can
provide full details then perhaps someone has already solved that problem
and can point you in the right direction.

-Jim
