With the next iteration of Office for Mac available at retail in October 2010, Microsoft is going on the same path it went with product such as Windows 7 and Office 2010 in order to ensure that customers keep buying the existing version of the product. Essentially, the Redmond company is prepared to offer free upgrades to Office for Mac 2011 to all new users that acquire Office for Mac 2008.
The Redmond company announced the debut of Microsoft Office for Mac Technology Guarantee Program as it unveiled plans to release Office for Mac 2011 in October. Of course, the free upgrades will only be offered after the next generation of Office for Mac will become available.

Qualifying purchase details: Office 2008 for Mac must be purchased between Aug. 1, 2010, and Nov. 30, 2010, at Microsoft or authorized reseller,” revealed a member of the Macintosh Business Unit (MacBU) at Microsoft.
The software giant has done similar Technology Guarantee Programs for Windows and Office. For the most part the free upgrades are indeed free, but in certain situations, customers will need to pay for the cost of the packaging and shipping themselves.
The Technology Guarantee program for Office for Mac 2011 is already live, and Microsoft is informing customers that they will need to keep the dated sales receipt for Office 2008 for Mac, as well as have a valid product key in order to qualify for the upgrade.
