Dealzmodo: 91% Off Microsoft Office Ultimate

Here's how you take money from Microsoft's pockets and put it into your own. First, you need to want to buy Microsoft Office Ultimate. Second, you need a .edu email address. It doesn't matter that you graduated in 1994 and the last time you stepped foot in a classroom was 1993, all you need is an .edu address. That'll cut down the atrocious $680 price tag to a more manageable $60. You have until May 16, a week from now. After that you'll have to go back to BitTorrenting it like you always do.

Microsoft Developing Native Office Apps for iPhone

The iPhone is definitely turning into an enterprise heavyweight. Tom Gibbons, head of Microsoft's Specialized Devices and Applications Group (which houses their Mac developers) confirmed to Fortune that Microsoft is looking at bringing native Office apps to the iPhone with the SDK: "To the extent that Mac Office customers have functionality that they need in that environment, we're actually in the process of trying to understand that now." And why wouldn't they? More »

First Hands On: Microsoft Office for Mac 2008

There's no better sign of Microsoft's increasing acceptance of the Mac population than the latest version of Office for Mac 2008, the first Office with native support for Intel-based Macs. Like its Mac-side predecessors, this Office has its own interface and tools, many of which aren't found on the PC. But whatever you use to create your PowerPoint presentation or Word doc, it will be 100% compatible with the 2007 PC Office edition. We've known it was coming for a while but now it's officially en route, hitting most retail outfits on January 15th at three key prices starting at $400 for suits and $150 for students and home use. We've been playing with the beta for a few weeks, too, and so far it's a smooth ride. More »

Office 2008 For Macs Export Powerpoint Presentations to iPhone, iPods

Slogging through tens of seconds of load times when Office 2004 fires up is nobody's idea of fun, but speedy Intel compatibility isn't the only thing that Office 2008 will bring next year. The new version will have a feature to export PowerPoint presentations to your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPod video/classic by way of iPhoto, so you can run through your previous quarter's sales reports in the comfort of a tiny, tiny screen. Or you can get an Apple TV-Out cable and project it onto a TV, which would be the smart thing to do. Office '08 should be available in January at MacWorld. [PCWorld]

Microsoft Announces Pricing for Office 2008 for Mac

Microsoft announced pricing for Office 2008 for Mac, which has been delayed until, well, January of 2008, naturally. It'll ship on January 15th. And of course, Microsoft is not making it easy with just one version of Office, announcing pricing for three different iterations. At leasts there's not nine. More »

Google adds a PowerPoint clone called Presentation to its stable of online Word and Excel clones. Whether an online-only, browser-based presentation suite will be nearly as powerful as a native application is yet to be seen, but our guess is no. [Google]

Microsoft Wants You to Test Their New VoIP Service

Microsoft is hoping you ditch your landline and start using their new Internet-based calling software, Microsoft Communicator. The VoIP service (which appears to be aimed more at your office cube than it is your bedroom) will tie in with MS Office apps like Word and Outlook, so you'll be able to dial someone by clicking on their name. Like other VoIP services, MS Communicator will also let you take your number on the road, so you'll never be tied down like you would with a landline. The beta-testing is about to begin, you can check it out by hitting the link below. – Louis Ramirez More »

Clippy R.I.P. - The World Wasn't Ready For You?

With recent tragedies surrounding our space an pornography programs, one major death has been passed over by the media. We are speaking of the late, not-necessarily-beloved Clippy who was brutally murdered out of Office 2007. Here is what Jensen Harris, Office Group Program Manager, had to say about the recent death.
One of the tenets that we had about the new UI in 2007 was that we only wanted to create one way to get to all features. We didn't want to have menus and toolbars and Clippy as parallel, slightly different ways of getting to the features, so Clippy as a way of helping you decode cryptic menus and toolbars didn't make sense, because we didn't have those cryptic menus and toolbars anymore...Although I think that social user interface wasn't ready for the mainstream yet
At the age of 10, Clippy was just a child at (his?) death. In private, Clippy often spoke of leaving the office behind for a simpler life. We hope that he found it...wherever he may be. More »

Microsoft Packaging for Vista and Office 2007 Revealed

Microsoft, planning to lure you into using Windows Vista and Office 2007 for the rest of your life, today reveals the packaging for the upcoming products, going with a rounded design reminiscent of a 1950s toaster. Let's let the Microsoftians damn us with their faint prose:
Designed to be user-friendly, the new packaging is a small, hard, plastic container that's designed to protect the software inside for life-long use. It provides a convenient and attractive place for you to permanently store both discs and documentation. The new design will provide the strength, dimensional stability and impact resistance required when packaging software today. Our plan is to extend this packaging style to other Microsoft products after the launch of Windows Vista and 2007 Office system.
Take a look at close-ups of a couple of the new boxes, after the jump. – Charlie White More »

Pantech IM-S130 Smartphone To Be Coveted By Businessmen

Generally speaking, Korean cellphone users tend to get all the cool cellphones first, and often get them exclusively. The latest is the Pantech IM-S130, of which only a few facts are known right now, like the fact that it supports microSD and has a pretty decent 3.3-megapixel camera. There's a chance that it might be a hit with the office-going crowd since it natively supports both PDF and Microsoft Office files. Not particularly appealing to the teen crowd, but Mr. Executive Vice President may get a kick out of it. If, by some miracle, it hits the U.S., we'll let you in on the skinny. – Nicholas Deleon More »

Creators of The Office (UK) In An Internal Promotional/Training Video for Microsoft UK

In case you weren't familiar with the British version of the popular TV Series The Office, Ricky Gervais stars as David Brent, the manager of a paper firm. Microsoft UK comissioned him and Stephen Merchant (co-creator) to do an internal training video for them, with hilarious results. I'm a huge Office fan, so I was stoked to finally see this! – Jason Chen More »
