Sounds good. It’s great how there’s always someone talking/blogging about the exact subject that interests you – so thanks for taking the time! I’m just an average user unfortunately but I’m looking to attend some events soon to see how to make more use of SharePoint when we migrate.

Well, it is a counter measure from Microsoft since Office:mac 2008 is heavily pirated and I don’t blame them from ‘catching’ the bad guys. Unfortunately there is always some innocent bystander caught in the crossfire.

Lucky me! I’m home but I still can’t find my product key and therefore can’t get into office! Leave it to Microsoft again!

Does anyone know where on my Mac I might find the product key? Or do I really have to spend $49 for Microsoft support to get one??????

Since downloading and installing SP2 for my office 2008 running on a macbook pro – it does not let me open any office applications, saying my product key is invalid and to re-enter my product key….all well and good, but my box and product key is in my home in London and I am working out in the states for the coming 2 months…….probably with bits of paper and an abacus now..if you are going to install it, i would suggest you write down you product key..just to be safe.

Since installing the update, Entourage asks for keychain use confirmation TWICE before delivering new mail. Nice job Microsoft.

I use Office 2008 at work and iWork/Mail/iCal/Address Book at home, and I must say– the Office products for Mac, while having more options, are a complete pile of crap compared to the Apple stuff…
