That’s right, Microsoft have said that its Office for Mac 2011 for use on its main rival Apple’s Mac computers will be released at some point in October this year. There will be 2 different versions released, Office for Mac Home & Student 2011 and Office for Mac Home & Business 2011.

The Home and Student pack will include Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Messenger. If you choose the Home and Business version then you will get Outlook included also. Also, if you choose to buy the current version from stores before 2011 is released, then you will be entitled to a free upgrade once 2011 is released.

Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 offers better compatibility between PCs and Macs which is an extremely important feature because whilst you create documents on your Mac, the person you are writing the document for may not have access to a Mac, but to a Windows based PC instead upon which the document could behave differently than it does on a Mac.

Also included in this new version of Microsoft Office for Mac is the ribbon interface from Microsoft Office 2007 with similar features but with the feel of a Mac.
