    This is great software but Microsoft hasn't done a refresh of this product in forever. It works just like the PC version of the software but is missing lots of features or has limited features. If you know how to use the PC version you'll be good here. However I've moved to using Apple's products like Numbers and Keynote. I like them better.

    Does what PC Version of Office Does

    We have been using Office (specifically Word, Excel, and Outlook) for almost as long as they have been available. I was very impressed that the Mac version of the software is practically identical to the Windows version and documents created in one are fully accessible with the other. However, I think Microsoft went a little overboard in the newest features. The start up screen I think they tried to make it more user friendly, but it did just the opposite. It is now actually harder to some of the more simple items, like simply open a file you saved a while ago. This was my first software purchase where you dont get a disk, only a download code. It was hard to scratch off the coating covering the number, I accidentally scratched off the entire number itself. However, the person at the Best Buy service desk was able to recover the scratched off number for me.

    Having not been a mac user in the past i was very skeptical of using office on a MAC. I have been very impressed and am not sure i'll ever use a PC again.

    $$$$ for Microsoft

    Microsoft does an INCREDIBLE job when it comes to the Microsoft Office Series. Something that they have hit out of the park time and time again! This product is no different you have Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook and other incredibly powerful tools that run seamlessly for Mac and PC products alike. The only issue I have for it is the pricing and download times: I don't know if its for convenience or keeping pricing down, but it's almost impossible to get a download disk for these products anymore so that makes you need somewhat fast internet to download the product from online. This if you don't have 'fast' internet can take HOURS, which that is just set up, not the additional updates needed to make the program be up to date. This is a hassle at times, but once you have it down, it is just fine. Also, the price. Now I understand it's a GREAT product and almost EVERYONE wants this product, but the price is KILLER when it comes to business people who need it for MULTIPLE computers/employees. Or even a college student. The $150-$300+ price range is a bit harsh to continue supplying for computer after computer. Otherwise I have no complaints and this will take care of all your needs on your computer for professional, sleek reports and emails.

    OK, But not MAC

    Like most of the functionality, however the "look" is decidedly not MAC, especially Outlook. Just found out they are coming out with Office 2016 for MAC soon. Not impressed that I will have to pay full price for the upgrade if I have to. Seems the sales rep I worked with either should have known this and advised me to wait, or Best Buy should be in part responsible for helping to defray some of the cost of an upgrade.
