Just get in the "Finder", highlight the Microsoft 2008 folder and move it into the "Trash"

That's all you got to do.

So, your period of software theft has expired. Buy your own copy.

Hey now, calm down. I bought the disc, just lost it. I'm not out here to be software robber of the year.

Well, how about delete the entire Microsoft 2008 folder and get it back from the "Time Mchine" backup if you got one. Did you ever back-up your system?

It doesn't have to be a recent backyp, any backup from TM or CarbonCopyClone will do the trick. Or copy the entire directory folder of MS 2008 on a flush stick and move it/copy it on a OS X 10.5 machine into the Applications folder like your were before you got the 10.6 upgrade and see if works there. If you don't have the Microsoft 2008 disk or some old backyps or some 10.5 system running you are out of luck. There is no way to reinstall without any of these.
