#MICROSOFT OFFICE ON MACBOOK PRO RETINA FOR MAC#
Microsoft will update Office for Mac 2011 to make it available to subscribers, but has said it will make no other immediate changes to the software.

Office for Mac 2011's next big move has nothing to do with new features, but everything to do with Microsoft's strategy to "lease" that suite and Office 2013 for Windows through subscription plans.

One possible reason: Apple requires software with ties to iCloud be sold through its Mac App Store, which would require Microsoft to give 30% of all Office for Mac revenue there to its rival. Microsoft has never signaled interest in iCloud, and instead touts its own SkyDrive. Some requested improvements, including support for iCloud - Apple's online storage and sync service that's integrated into Mountain Lion - will probably never appear. Last year, just after Apple delivered Lion, a Microsoft senior director of product development said his company was "working hard with Apple to enable versioning, auto save and full-screen" for Office for Mac 2011, and added that the timeline was "likely measured in months."

If it is significantly worse than what one sees on normal displays, it will be difficult. I would like to know the usability of these apps given that these are not updated for the rMBP. Even then, one of the suite's four applications, Outlook, was left out. I am keen to buy the rMBP, but need to use Microsoft Office 2011 for work on this machine. Office for Mac 2011 has yet to adopt a pair of OS X Lion's most-touted features - including Versions and Auto Save - and added support for full-screen mode only in April 2012's service pack 2 (SP2), nine months after Lion's launch. The 2008 version would have done just fine." Tohe Office apps for Apple’s platform have recieved criticism, described. The rep didn’t comment on updates for Word, Excel, or PowerPoint for OS X. "I am sure all features will also be promised in the 'new' Office version coming out real soon I'm really sorry that we bought this version for our office. A Microsoft Office for Mac representative issues a response saying Outlook for Mac 2011 supports the Retina Display, adding remaining apps will have identical viewing quality to non-Retina apps. "It's a bit of a stretch to say you are 'ready' for Lion, let alone Mountain Lion," said "Johnson" two days after the blog posted. "Before it does that it merely 'works on Mountain Lion.' " "It'll be 'Mountain Lion ready' if you add full-screen mode, iCloud and Retina support," said David Ebert.

Microsoft will have to deal with Retina at some point if the rumors are true that Apple will move all its notebooks, including the rest of the MacBook Pro line and all MacBook Airs, to the pixel-dense screen.Īpple's Office wannabe, iWork, supports Retina: Apple updated the apps - KeyNote, Numbers and Pages - July 25, the day Mountain Lion hit the Mac App Store.įew commenters agreed with Microsoft's claim that Office for Mac was Mountain Lion ready.
