SOFTWARE giant Microsoft has said that it will release the newest version of Office for Mac OS X, but is not sure when.

With the Windows version out soon, one would expect the Apple version to follow only a few weeks later but officially the Vole says it will arrive "in the second half of 2007" but then again so is Christmas.

A spokesVole told BetaNews that Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac would be compatible with both the PowerPC and Intel platforms. It will also manage Open XML document format.

Like other Mac versions of Office, Office 2008 will have features that are unique to the Mac. There will be a Publishing Layout View with tools and text box entry. Excel gets Ledger Sheets, to simplify basic accounting tasks and there will be a program called "My Day" to allow for the user to view scheduling and task viewing.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
