A lot has changed from then in the world of technology which might explain why Mac users, not Windows ones, get the freshest version of Office first.In a briefing, a Microsoft spokesperson explained that it was important to release it first to show that Mac users still count for the company as it clearly demonstrated by launching iOS (and Android) versions of Office Mobile for them first.The announcement today brings all the expected key features of Office to Mac users with new versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and Outlook tweaked for Mac devices to make optimal use of Full Screen view, Multi-Touch and Retina display.Largest Office for Mac beta everMore than 100,000 pieces of feedback have been submitted by the thousands of users that enrolled on the Office for Mac preview program, providing feedback over four months and seven updates.
