I am looking for MS Office ***** version.
Please anyone can help me with that

Re: Help required

Install Adium for chatting - Gtalk etc. Really good application.
Browser choice should be Firefox as Safari is not good. Chrome is heavy.
Perian for installing video codecs.
NTFS-3G for accessing your NTFS external hard disks - *sourceforge.net/projects/catacombae/files/NTFS-3G for Mac OS X/2010.10.2/

No. Read the forum rules.

Quite honestly, it is really weird that you guys buy phones costing above Rs. 25,000....laptops of Rs. 60,000...but can't spare Rs. 3000 for Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac.

True color of India.

IMHO, I think OP should download and try LibreOffice before going for MS Office. LibreOffice is a very good substitute for MS Office. Its interface is reasonably similar to older Office (without ribbon) though it may be lacking in a few features that may be needed by very specialised set of users only... iWork is another alternative but it is not free and its interface is completely different from Office...

Really, you can at least try it. If you find it lacking then go for paid alternatives.

I have recently bought a Macbook pro.
As I m a new user to Mac OS,I m desperately looking for some(basic) softwares for it(free download), specially MS office 2007 or later and many more.
I will really thankful to all the guys who could me link for the same
And please suggest me what all softwares should I install in it.

When you were ready to pay a premium to get a mac, why not buy the softwares you need too?
MS Office is a paid software and so are many others. But a lot of free software exist that get the same job done.
As Alien and sakumar79 suggested try LibreOffice. It isnt pretty looking (as compared to MS Office) But is more than sufficient for most word-processing needs.

Piracy is punishable.

@aroraanant is it an Indian version of macbook or imported model?
Did you get apple india warranty with it?
Have you registered it in apple's site?
are you planning to buy any protection plan?

Yes its an Indian product and I have got Indian warranty with it.
BTW all the Macs come with International warranty.
And yes I have registered it on the Apple's site.
I want to buy a protection plan but running I can't spare that much so will buy after some time(as one can buy the plan before the 1yr warranty gets over).

@arroraant

all the apple products delivered to India ships from Singapore, and all are on demand…
Yes laptop comes with international warranty and only serial no. is enough to get it, not even need for bill
