Why is this marked "Old Version"? Is there a difference between this and the regular MS Office 2011 for Mac? (other than price).

Not exactly sure but Office 2013 is out making this Office 2011 for MAC version an "old version". That being said I take my .doc and .ppt's to church where we use different versions of Office (2003, 2007, 2010) on several different PC's and the Office MAC documents work without issue. I'm very happy with the program.

nope...office 2012+ version is the suitable version, as far I tried. Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 was successful.

Once you get used to the slightly different keyboard, you will love using a Mac for Office. Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac is absolutely compatible with other versions of Office (make sure you have the latest updates installed if you work with Office 2007 (and its new "Microsoft Office Open XML" format files). Apple's Mac OS X "aqua" look and feel looks great! Try it out at any Apple or CompUSA store -- they almost always have Office 2004 installed. Microsoft has a demo to try before you buy if you want to try it on your new Mac. Don't buy the Professional Edition. The new Parallels software makes it obsolete. You can also run your PC version of Office using Parallels (under your copy of XP) and be assured of compatibility.

Windows software, including Microsoft Office, wont's install on Apple iMac. There is Microsoft Office specifically designed for Mac products.

Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac works very well. Also remember that Apple's Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are half the price ($20 each) of the Microsoft Office for Mac package and correspond to WORD, Excel, and Powerpoint respectively.

the only Microsoft that is on my macbook is Microsoft silverlight whatever that is. it didn't come with Microsoft office. you should ask the person your thinking of purchasing from if it had what you need it on. every macbook is different.

I have an iMac with OS X 10.6.8. I have had NO issue with this Microsoft Office 2008 version.

Discount Mac Depot does include Microsoft Office pre installed on the Mac. Thanks

I just contacted Apple after installing Lion and finding out-to my dismay-that Office 2004 & earlier aren't supported (PowerPC based). The reviews of Office 2011 don't look like that version is stable. So, if I buy 2008, I actually have to uninstall Lion and re-install Snow Leopard? Apple's solution was to buy the upgrade of office or reinstall Snow Leopard-which they said was "very difficult". This is absolutely unacceptable! When I asked whether it was an oversight or intentional that PowerPC wasn't supported by Lion, I got "I don't know, I don't have communication with the developers". Pages won't open office documents either. So...given the choices, I am extraordinarily disappointed with Apple on this one and hope they will come up with a solution, upgrade or patch that works. In the meantime, Try downloading Neo Office for free. It works with Lion even though it is a very basic word processing system. Anybody at Apple listening?

It comes with office 2010 but I think its a trial version. I uninstalled it and got one from a friend

MS office was not loaded on. You can get it for another $99. Luckily I had access to 2010. I'm not happy with the computer since I've had it.

I have only used office mac for university, so cannot really say if there is much difference as compared to home/ school mac.But its a good deal. Also you might want to check some Excel functions that i found were missing and i had to download them using Excel Stat plus which is free to download.

I use this version and love it for the price. I needed publisher and other programs that aren't included in the office version. The older version is just fine.

I actually don't know. It's a Xmas present. I also bought mac office by MS just to be on the safe side.

Geeze - It was $84. It had Word and Excel on it but it was 10 years old. I'd only use it for a backup or dedicate it for e-mail. The keyboard is not for typing long papers.

No it doesn't. Kind of odd that microsoft products don't come standard with office while Apple does.

There was only one real difference for me and that was it included Outlook. If you go to the microsoft web page they have a chart that shows a comparison of all their Office products. It may help you make your decision on which one to buy. Also, I chose to buy the Office Suite instead of doing the Office 365. It may be cheaper for the first 2 yeas, but, after that you are loosing money, at least that is the way I figured it. If you do buy I suggest that you get the disk s it is always available and you have a less time consuming process than doing it on line. Especially, if you have a slow internet connection. I did my first attempt using a hotel internet, which ended up with an error. I went to the Apple Store, took a workshop and used their internet to download the Yosemite upgrade in 45 minutes.
