If your using the old version, I find 2008 to be a nice improvement (assuming you don't rely on macros).
Yes, from what I read about 2008 is a pretty nice improvement over the old version I have, but I don't need it. iWork more than meets my needs and the money to update Office is better put to some other use.
Microsoft is trying to get rid of something that nobody wants (a white elephant). Without full macro support this is useless to me as it is to many other users. I will use Office 2004 until Microsoft comes out with the version that includes macro support (2 or 3 years from now?!).
Note: This is my comment but the system did not recognize my login when I wrote it.
