I heard earlier there are some concerns with installing Office 2008 for Mac. It seems it was something about the installer opening up a security hole. I purchased Office 2008 on release date but never installed it since I'm waiting to install it on a new MBP I'm purchasing this weekend. Is it safe to install it or some type of fix for it once installed? Are there certain procedures I should follow when installing?

Here's what you're thinking of:
MacNN | Office 2008: permission, uninstall issues

I wouldn't worry about it.

After I installed Office 2008 and launched Word, it asked if I wanted to let Word accept incoming internet connections. I just clicked No.
The era of anthropomorphizing hardware is over.
