Microsoft has provided details of the next iteration of Office for Mac.
Microsoft detailed Office for Mac 2011 at the Macworld Expo in San Francisco yesterday and revealed that the new Office suite would be available in time for the holidays.
This particular release of Office for Mac will, for the first time in 10 years, include Microsoft Outlook. Outlook will replace the much disliked Entourage, a client which does not offer Exchange support.

Macs are now running on PC hardware, have office and can boot windows. I dont get how you can stand OSX. If I wanted a phone OS, Id buy a phone...
Resistance is futile!
What in the world is "PC hardware?"
M$ could have buried years ago in the era of OX 9, but instead they helped out apple by donating millions so apple could build OS X.
M$ and Apple are friends really...don't let these silly mac vs. pc commercials fool you.
I use Windows, OS X, and Linux equally. I actually prefer OS X to windows in a lot of ways, and in my experience it crashes a lot less than windows. Also it makes no sense to call OS X a phone OS. It was a computer OS long before it was ported to a phone, So OS X is not in any way shape or form a phone OS.
A x86 CPU.
If your Windows crash, you are to blame. The last time I had a problem with a windows, it was Windows ME.
I know its a computer OS, my comment is a joke based on the fact that OSX is an extremely restrictive OS. From a power user standpoint that is.
I run windows xp(32 & 64) Windows 7 (Ultimate 64 Bit) as well as Ubuntu, Solaris, and Mac OSx. I have to say I prefer OSx, but Windows 7 is a very close second.
An x86 CPU is not "PC hardware" because there is no such thing as "PC Hardware"
If I recall, Bill Gates personally helped bail out Apple, not Microsoft as a company. That's different and I don't think the two are "friends". If they were, they wouldn't be attacking each other all the time.
That's just M$ (or Bill Gates) Showing off what kind of money could have been made if they didn't restrict everything.
The 1997 deal was essentially a personal favor that Bill Gates did for Steve Jobs. The two of them have an interesting relationship.
You can see some of that acted out in the docudrama Pirate of Silicon Valley, which is about 90% true. There's a particularly fun section when Steve gets mad at Bill, summons him over to Cupertino, yells at him -- but by the end of the evening, Steve is eating out of Bill's hand.
2GB limit is long gone with the new office outlook... I agree it's late to arrive but its a welcome addition...I tried many different mail clients and nothing works as nice and clean as outlook does with Exchange... while so many out there try to copy outlook why not just go with outlook... How about Sun??? when will they release and outlook wannabe... I'm still waiting for that to be released with openoffice....
as for PC hardware... yes... x86 hardware is better known as PC hardware because in the past Apple ran only on RISC processors...
People that compare MacOS against Windows and say that Mac is stable...really... how can you compare... give MS 10 computers and tell them to make an OS that runs only on those 10 and then lets compare which one is more stable... of course Mac is stable it really doesn't need to be tested on that many different configurations... were as MS supports Millions of different devices and hardware and applications, etc... and it's been really stable in comparison...so for anyone who says MAC OS is better then lets have MAC develop and OS that can run on ALL PC hardware out there and then we can say it's a great OS... Even Linux supports more options then Mac... and Bill gates I think does have a stake in Apple... I believe a while back they purchased 50% of the company which kepted it going when it was about to die....why would they do that... to compete against themselves ad control the market...simple...
