Article Synopsis

Microsoft's Macintosh Business Unit (MacBU) has introduced a new application in Service Pack 2 (SP2) for Office 2008 for Mac called Microsoft Document Connection. Document Connection was first introduced as the Microsoft Office Document Collaboration Companion at Macworld 2009 and has since then undergone a name change and interface update during its private beta this past spring. Document Connection offers Mac users a "more seamless" experience with SharePoint 2003 and 2007 sites as well as with Office Live Workspace, which means this tool isn't just for the enterprise but for school and home users of Office for Mac too. It is installed with the free Office 2008 for Mac SP2 update and is not available separately.
