Office 2011 for Mac is so bad that I have a Parallels install of Windows on most of my Macs, just to run Office 2013 in a Windows virtual machine. As you probably know, Office 2016 for Mac was released a few weeks ago, and it's much more in line with the PC version of Office 2013 we're all used to. I get downloadable Office from the school where I teach, but they only have Office 2011 for Mac. Then, just about a year ago, I moved off of Exchange to Gmail, and haven't looked back.Īlthough I cancelled my Office 365 Midsize Business plan, I still have my Office 2013 license for my PCs and my Office 2011 license for my Macs. Although I had Office 2013 licenses as an educator through school, I moved to Office 365 to gain access to Office 365-hosted Exchange. Most of you know that I moved from an Exchange hosting provider to Office 365 a few years ago. Obviously, we're talking about Microsoft. Instead it's more testimony to unnecessary hassle. When I started writing this story, I thought it was going to be a rant.
