With both versions of Office running simultaneously, can I "cheerypick" apps to use from each?

Not sure I understand your question, but yes, you can run both Office 2008 and 2011 on the same machine. Although I certainly would not recommend mixing and running applications from either at the same time.

Office 2011 is a vast improvement over 2008 in that it re-instates macros and integrates much better with Office 2010 (Windows version).

I agree with chscag. Even in Windows, mixing Office versions is tentative at best. We have some people where I work doing that, and it seems they are all always having issues and needing to reinstall one version or the other at times.

Considering Office is one of the few products out there that works well with backwards compatibility (macros and VBA excluded here) it just would not make sense to run multiple versions of Office...
