It includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote.
Office Home and Business 2021 is for families and small businesses who want classic Office apps and email.
Office 2016 for Mac shares an unmistakably Office experience–but it is also thoughtfully designed to take advantage of the unique features of the Mac.
As a teaser, and probably to win back the heart of Mac community, Microsoft is releasing the preview version of Office 2016 for Mac available for free download from early March 2015.Īccording to Microsoft, Microsoft Office 2016 for the Mac is powered by the cloud so you can access your documents on OneDrive, OneDrive for Business and SharePoint at anytime, anywhere and on any device.
Office for Mac 2016 is another effort by Microsoft to cement their dominant position in the lucrative Office productivity software segment, especially in light of increasing popularity of computers running Mac OS X in the businesses and corporations.
In fact, Microsoft has added cross-platform support to its popular Office productivity suite, from iOS (iPhone, iPad and iPod touch), Android phones and tablets, to universal Office apps on Windows Store and Dropbox. But with Office 2016 for Mac, Microsoft apparently has a change of heart.
Why would Microsoft be kind to users of rival platform? So it’s not surprising that Office for Mac 2011, the latest version of Office available for Mac OS X, hasn’t been updated for almost 5 years. As the result, Office for Mac always lacks advanced functions, contains fewer features, less comprehensive, less intuitive and less polished in UI when compared to its sibling for Windows desktop. Microsoft Office for Mac has always been playing second-fiddle to the Office for Windows productivity suite, where the Windows operating system is also the product of Microsoft.
