Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal has reviewed Office:Mac 2011, with a bit of an Outlook pun: Mac Users Are Getting New Outlook From Rival.  It starts out by saying that “[a] new, faster, better version of Microsoft Office is coming out Oct. 26”, and wraps up by saying that the “new Mac Office is by far the best Mac version of the suite I’ve used, and I can recommend it”.

Sandwiched between those two stellar lines, Mossberg notes that performance is “dramatically snappier” and says that Outlook is “fast and capable”.  He also notes improved compatibility and file fidelity between the two platforms, as well as some of our Mac-only features like dynamic reordering and Word’s full-screen view.

Getting Office:Mac 2011 out the door has been a long road.  It’s fantastic to see all of these great reviews come in.  I can’t wait to hear what everyone thinks when it finally hits store shelves on October 26.
