Download Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 : The previous Mac version of Office, numbered 2008, was an ugly clutch of programs crippled by mystifying lacunae. Gesturing weakly towards the Mac experience with a few half-hearted design elements, it deployed a crippled version of the new "ribbon" interface that was superfluous but couldn't be hidden.The applications constantly drew attention to themselves: even on the most powerful Macs, performance was poor and start-up times almost unbearable. Many users were annoyed at the absence of Access and the lack of Visual Basic support in Excel. And ditching the floating menus from 2004's incarnation resulted in layer upon layer of menu at the top that by default left little room for the actual document. So there was a lot of work to be done to make Office for Mac 2011 an enticing proposition.
This new edition does seek to address some of those shortcomings. Most significantly, this is the first version of Office for Mac that ditches the execrable Entourage, replacing it with a version of Outlook that looks and feels more like its Windows counterpart. Although calendar management is still terrible – and doesn't yet sync with iCal or Google Calendar – messages are at last stored as individual files, rather than one huge archive, which fixes an incompatibility with Time Machine that used to have it backing up your mail archive every time a message was sent, received or edited. It's worth pointing out, though, that you don't get Outlook in the student edition of Office: you'll have pay for the full suite for the privilege of a decent mail client.
