Microsoft is announcing availability, as of today at Macworld's kick-off, of Office 2008 for Mac. But what else do those dastardly Redmondians have up their sleeves?

The 80 GB Zune in red. From the press release:

"Responding to consumer excitement for the Zune 80GB, Microsoft Corp. is making the popular wireless digital media player available in red with Zune Originals, just in time for Valentine's Day. Inspired by the themes of love and sharing, an exclusive collection of 20 new laser-engraved designs will be available to consumers for a limited time at http://www.zuneoriginals.net; in addition, Zune Marketplace will feature Valentine's Day playlists that can be shared with friends or loved ones Zune to Zune or via the Zune Social online music community."

Take that, Apple faithful!

And here I was foolishly thinking Microsoft drop a beta release of Fiji, a k a the next version of Windows Media Center, as its Macworld spoiler...
