With new Office 2016 preview, Microsoft brings Mac users into the modern era

Today's preview release of new Office apps for the Mac brings much of the familiar Office for Windows interface to Mac users. It's a long-overdue update to the cluttered Office for Mac interface.

Office 2016 for Mac, which is free to all Mac users running OS X Yosemite during the preview period

Free or not, I'm sticking with Pages, Numbers & Keynote.

@FitnessPRO it's free during the preview period which is going on now, however every build will expire roughly 60 days after it is posted. The last preview build will continue to function for roughly a month after the official launch date. FAQ's and more here: [products.office.com...]

@bill we have no compatibility issues at our agency, the corresponding Apple products open documents created in Word, Excel etc. and can export to each as well.
