If you’re running Office 2004, there’s no reason not to upgrade. You get a massively improved interface, and everything that was missing from Office 2008 is back. If you are running 2008, then there’s plenty to gain in the new version too, but it depen...
Microsoft made a big leap with this latest version for the Mac — not only has it nearly reached feature parity with the Mac counterparts to Word, Excel and PowerPoint, but it has finally added Outlook, the email and scheduling client Mac business fans ...
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...

No upgrade pricing, no realtime font previews when hovering
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...
