You can trash the one in /Applications and keep this one. The other one won’t detect anything for Office 2008 whereas I believe this one works for everything, I suspect MS didn’t want to automatically delete the one in /Applications because it might have supported apps not supported by the new one (or the one in /Applications got reinstalled after the facts by another installation such as the mouse drivers — which are not under the control of the MacBU).
