Microsoft on Tuesday said Office 2008 for the Mac is the hottest selling version of the productivity suite in nearly 20 years.
In announcing the soaring sales, the software maker also released Service Pack 1 of Office for the Mac. SP1 in general improves the suite's stability, security, and performance. The company also gave a peek of the product's roadmap by saying it would have Visual Basic for Applications in the next version.
VBA is an implementation of Microsoft's Visual Basic programming language that's built into Office applications. By embedding the VBA integrated development environment into software, Microsoft provides a familiar tool for developers customizing the suite.
