    I am excited! I like office for mac, but feel entourage is lagging a bit vs outlook. Plus, there are features in Numbers that I like that are coming in Excel.

    What a rip…what about us schmucks that already bought Office 2008 last year. No upgrade available… that sucks.

      That is why they are better known as Micro$soft.

    I’m looking forward to it. I tried Office for Mac 2008 but didn’t like the interface. 2011 looks more like 2007/2010 which I prefer. I’m all about the ribbon.

    I am not that excited for the new Office 2011 as I know first time release of software got a lot of bugs to fix. It always pays to be a little behind and see what other people say about it. There is no rush in having a new software if your current one is working perfectly fine.

    Yawn. I’m sticking with Entourage. Being an ex-Microsoftie who has seen the “light” converting my entire medium sized company to Apple (it simply works) and running my what has become a medium sized business on Macs, I have verified through my MSFT friends that the features on Outlook for Mac will be significantly reduced vis a vis what you get on Windoze as the Mac team did not have enough time to port.

    God bless Citrix so we can have enterprise capable software that we can log on to from a solid OS.

    Office Mac 2008 sucks ass – terrible interface and SUPER inefficient code. I’m looking forward to 2011.

      Given that I can do most of what I need in Google docs for free, this strikes me as too little an improvement too late — and I’d already switched to Keynote as far more pleasant to use than Powerpoint. I doubt that they’ll grok the collaborative environment and the fact that their first videos stress a bunch of geeky stuff that may not be a value add (since it’s too late to catch the competition on some of the graphical things and that has never been Microsoft’s strong suit anyway).just reinforces my opinion.

      It’s sort of sad, if it weren’t so expensive.
