Abstract: In all the programs, there is still some of the traditional Microsoft bloat, but it’s well hidden. The interface is streamlined via “ribbons,” and the performance is zippy. In other words, if past versions of Office have permanently...
Abstract: The word for the day is "ribbons." Moving from the floating Formatting Palette, Microsoft has now joined the Mac version of Office to the PC version, and we have ribbons! Also part of this transition is bringing the email client Outlook to the Mac and eliminating Entourage. Sometim...

Abstract: Microsoft has released Office for Mac 2011. The latest version of the Office Suite aims to bridge the divide between the Mac and PC, and it packs a ton of new features, including Microsoft Outlook, collaborative sharing and editing, and an updated inte...
Abstract: Ever since Microsoft launched its Office suite of productivity applications, we’ve been bombarded by arguments for why competing offerings were better. Whether it came from vendors who competed with opposing commercial applications, or the open-source ...

It's no exaggeration to say that Office 2011 for Mac is a gigantic improvement from Office 2008. I personally found Office 2008 for Mac to be unusable (having been accustom to 2007 for Windows). The toolbox was always disappearing, the menus and contr...
Abstract: When I reviewed Microsoft Office for Mac 2008, I said the then-new version of the suite was "kind of like getting a new Chevy." In other words, it was a solid upgrade, but nothing to really get excited about. Not this time. I could call Office for Mac ...
Abstract: Microsoft's newly released Office for Mac 2011 takes huge steps toward bringing the same experience to Office users on both Windows and Mac -- but they're the steps that begin a journey, not bring it to an end. The Mac suite remains well behind its l...
Abstract: With the release of Office 2011 for Mac on Oct. 26, Microsoft has made giant strides in making the Mac version of its productivity suite less of an afterthought to the Windows version, and in some ways has nudged the Macintosh version of the suite past...
Abstract: Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac ships tomorrow, and AppleInsider's got the scoop on how it performs. From their review: If you’re an Office user already, the new Office 2011 is a no-brainer upgrade. It’s wildly faster, looks and feels much better, and ...
New online collaboration tools. Ribbon changes up the toolbar based on what you’re doing. Snappier performance.
Outlook not included in $119 Home and Student Edition or the corresponding $149 Family Pack.
By building on the best of Office 2008 and adding badly needed compatibility with Windows technologies, Microsoft has delivered a suite that doesn’t treat Mac users like second-class citizens. Office 2011 as a package goes the extra mile to put Mac us...
