If you’re thinking of switching to a Mac computer, you can simply download and install Office for Mac without paying more. One advantage of the Office 365 subscription/rental is that you can switch between Windows and Mac without cost. Stand-alone, single purchase Office 2016 for Mac will be available in September. There’s a 1.1GB download, then installation. Office 365 customers (personal, student or organization) can go to their My Account page, choose Office 2016 for Mac.
That’s a nuisance because, until now, we’ve been able to tell Mac and Windows versions of Office apart simply by the ‘year’ – for example Office 2011 always meant the Mac version because there was no ‘2011’ Office for Windows.
One for Mac and the upcoming Office 2016 for Windows.
