'.They always find it is more than adequate for their home needs. Re: I've been recommending it to people for years In summary, Office for Mac is well worth the $15 I paid for it. In an amazing feat of programming, though, MS somehow managed to make Outlook for Mac even worse than the Windows version. Once the Office apps (eventually) launch, they plod along with most of the features of their Windows counterpart, in generally the same places. Also, the ungainly Microsoft Updater tends to pop up and announce that important updates are available - only to launch it and be informed that no updates are available. It doesn't handle high-DPI (Retina) very well, and Office for Mac apps take far longer to launch than any other apps else on the computer (Apple or 3rd party). The Mac menu structure is bolted on top of the ribbon, which is odd-looking but in some ways better than the Windows version. It's pretty obvious that the Mac product is a port from a completely different OS. I have Office 2016 on my work PC, and a $15 Mac copy from the now-defunct home use program on my personal MBP. Has the MS Office suite for MAC finally acheived parity with the Windows version?
