#Office for mac osx upgrade

There was never a good reason Mac users paid the same amount for each upgrade Windows users did, but didn't get the same features. So anyway, MS is finally treating Mac users with the respect they should get for buying their software. Not enough time to implement and test everything before the release date. Since they were under a deadline of typically four to six months, the Mac version was always feature short. Only then would the Mac Division finally get to see what the Windows side had been developing and then try to mimic all of the changes. In the past, MS created the next Windows version of Office and released it. The new feature compatible to be release was due to shutting down their Mac Business division. The older email Mac client version of Entourage, and the current email client Outlook, have always been behind (often, far behind) the capabilities of the Windows versions. The biggest change by far though is that they will now (so they say) finally be fully feature compatible. It is now scheduled to be released in the fall at the same time as the Windows version. MS finally explained the huge lag in upgrading the Mac version.

However, it's pay forever subscription software. If you invest in Office 365, that will be feature compatible to the Windows versions. It is mostly compatible with any documents created in the Windows versions of Office, but newer features of Office 2013 for Windows may not open as expected under the last boxed Mac version. As you can see (it was actually released late 2010), it hasn't been updated a bit over four years.

The current version is Office 2011 for Mac.
