This reminded me that I have not checked for updates on my Office 2011 for quite some time so I am updating as we speak. I use a Mac Pro at work and it's a great machine but at home there isn't any way I could justify spending $2000-3000 on one of those when a nice quad-core/8GB/2TB/nVidia machine easily covers my uses and costs half as much. Still, if you just happen to want a computer in a form factor Apple doesn't make or in a price range Apple just doesn't offer (read: anyone who wants a modest workstation for $900-1000), it's nice to have a company that just makes the OS and doesn't try to tell you what brand of computer you are allowed to run it on. Apple makes tons of money selling hardware in very specific niches and they do it well. I dunno.lots of folks want a nice modern OS that will run on *any* brand of PC hardware, not just hardware sold by one company. Crappy software is not something which I am interested in supporting. Microsoft had its day, lost its erection, and is now irrelevant. Why would I ever want to spend another penny on a Microsoft product? I have Libre Office and Google Docs. Beyond those two bugs, Fox noted that there are some little nagging issues like windows that don't align as they did under Snow Leopard. If you have already been using Outlook, though, this won't be an issue. If you are installing Office 2011 new, you won't be able to use the import function. The other major bug is that Outlook 2011 can't import e-mail from Lion's version of Mail. That bug is being addressed by a fix being pushed out in the next day or so, according to Fox, so corporate users should be back to messaging in no time. However, Microsoft's Pat Fox noted last week that Communicator, a corporate-only version of Windows Live Messenger, had a serious crashing bug. Most of the suite works fine under Lion and doesn't necessarily need anything to continue functioning as usual. Files opened without issue, and we experienced no obvious bugs in functionality. But don't get excited just yet, as those features won't be available for the next few months.Īs we noted in our visual look at Lion, the main Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 applications-Word, Excel, and PowerPoint-ran for us as expected. Microsoft's iconic productivity suite Office for Mac will gain support for new Lion features, including auto save and fullscreen mode, in an upcoming update.
