I installed Snow Leopard tonight and can verify that Office 2008 will
install and completely update on a clean install of Snow Leopard, but you
need to install Rosetta if your install DVD is one of the earlier copies
with 12.0.0.

Yes. It first updated the MAU, then it did the download for 12.1.0, but
after restarting I was still at 12.0.0. I download from Mactopia the 12.1.0
updater and that installed. I restarted and used the updater from Mactopia
for 12.2.0, restarted and did the same for 12.2.1. Next I updated to the EWS
version for Exchange compatibility.

I did have Rosetta installed. This is required to see the first update for
MAU.
