Why does Office for Mac 2011 take on new relevance now? Moving files into the free Office Live allows for all of Microsoft’s functionality to be employed: reading, editing and sharing documents via browser or having the opportunity to access them by someone who lives and works inside Microsoft Office on a Windows PC all day. The Document Connection console allows for uploading and downloading files, reading, editing, checking them in and checking them out. To then port the file to Office Live, it’s simply a matter of clicking on the Microsoft Document Connection Feature in Office for Mac 2011. iDisk is positioned to look like any other hard drive in the Mac’s file system, so it’s very familiar and intuitive. When you create, say, a Word Document in Office for Mac 2011, you’re given the file-saving options you would typically get - but with the additional option of saving to MobileMe’s iDisk, its cloud-based e-mail, calendar, contact and storage offering. Office for Mac 2011 not only surpasses previous versions of the software, but it’s got a significant leg up on rivals including Google Apps - with both functionality and desktop/cloud integration.Īrmed with a Mac, a subscription to MobileMe and an active Office Live account from Microsoft, here’s how it all comes together:

The result: if hesitancy to run Office on the Mac platform was keeping anyone from migrating from Windows to Mac OS X, that really can’t be an issue any longer. The CRN Test Center examined Office for Mac 2011 Home and Business Edition (list $199.95) on a new MacBook Air, and found it surpassed previous versions of the Mac-based Office suite in terms of functionality, its snappy performance and - importantly - compatibility with cloud-based Office Live as well as Apple’s MobileMe online service. With Microsoft Office for Mac 2011, it now deserves an even better seat. Instead, the company has produced versions of Office for Mac that have delivered enough compatibility between Windows and Mac - and Cloud Computing - to give it a seat at the table.

So with the resurgence of Apple’s Mac platform, Microsoft could have been faced with another tough fight.
