Because the 9to5 Mac web-site mentioned on September 10, it looks like Amazon.com has leaked once more one more Microsoft start date and pricing.According to a display capture on that site, Amazon is going to be generating accessible the next edition of Microsoft;s Mac Office suite beginning on October 26.Microsoft officials previously stated the new suite would be obtainable at the end of October. In early August, Microsoft shared pricing for the forthcoming suite. The three SKUs, or variations — Workplace for Mac Household & Student 2011,
Buy Office 2010, Office for Mac Residence & Business 2011 and Office for Mac Academic 2011 — is going to be offered at retail. (The Academic version,
Buy Windows 7 Professional, for students and faculty, will probably be obtainable 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,
Office 2010, similar to the a single built into the recent Windows versions of Office,
Windows 7 Enterprise Sale, and will probably be a 32-bit product only.Microsoft is neither confirming nor denying the October 26 date.“As announced this summer,
Office Professional 2007, Office for Mac 2011 might be on store shelves late October. However, we haven;t announced the official start date,” a spokesperson told me today when I asked.
