Because the 9to5 Mac web site noted on September 10, it seems like Amazon.com has leaked once more an additional Microsoft start date and pricing.According to a display capture on that web site,
Microsoft Office 2010 Pro, Amazon will be making readily available the next version of Microsoft;s Mac Office suite starting on October 26.Microsoft officials earlier mentioned the new suite would be out there in the finish of October. In early August, Microsoft shared pricing for the forthcoming suite. The three SKUs,
Microsoft Office 2007 Professional, or versions — Office for Mac Residence & Student 2011, Office for Mac Residence & Business 2011 and Workplace for Mac Academic 2011 — is going to be accessible at retail. (The Academic edition,
Office Pro Plus, for students and faculty,
Windows 7 X64, is going to be out there via authorized academic stores.)Mac Office 2011 replaces Entourage with Outlook and adds back Visual Basic for Applications support to the product. Mac Workplace 2011 gets a Ribbonized user interface, similar to the one built into the recent Windows versions of Workplace, and will probably be a 32-bit product only.Microsoft is neither confirming nor denying the October 26 date.“As announced this summer, Workplace for Mac 2011 is going to be on store shelves late October. However, we haven;t announced the official launch date,
Windows 7 Starter,” a spokesperson told me today when I asked.
