While comparing the prices of Office products on the new Microsoft Store we came across a strange little pricing anomaly that could save you around $50 on the price of Office for Mac full edition. It is worth noting, for our international readers, that Office 2008 for Mac will be available in Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Swedish, and, new in this version Danish, Finnish and Norwegian.If you’re thinking of buying Office 2008 for Mac there’s an interesting pricing anomaly that you might take advantage of, while it lasts. It includes everything in the core suite (including Exchange support) as well as a full version of Microsoft Expression Media for Mac for $499.95 or $299.95 for the upgrade.

Microsoft Office for Mac Special Media Edition: This one is interesting.

This edition only comes in the full retail flavor for $149.95 (which isn't a bad price at all, though this one is a no go for me).

As such the version of Entourage included in Home and Student Edition does not support Exchange, nor do you get Automator workflows with this edition.

Microsoft Office for the Mac Home and Student Edition: This is aimed at the segment of the market that needs to edit documents and such, but isn't in an Exchange environment.

You can pick this version up for $399.95 (US) for the full retail version and $239.95 for an upgrade. This version includes some Automator workflows, as well as Exchange support in Entourage (you'll see why I mention this in a moment).

Microsoft Office 2008 for the Mac: This is the core version of the productivity suite which includes Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Entourage.

There will be three different flavors of Office 2008 for the Mac, and they are as follows: The latest news from our friends at Redmond concerns editions and price (Oh! Pricing!).

I'm becoming the Microsoft Office Maven here at TUAW it would seem (which isn't as cool as being TUAW's iPhone hacker, Erica, but I'll take what I can get).
