"The Microsoft Mac team has posted the first in a series of videos that show off some of the new features in Microsoft Office for Mac 2011. \nThe next version of Office for Mac, which includes the valiant return of Outlook for Mac, is due out by the end of the year. The Mac Office team has been posting about some of the new features and some of the changes to the interface.This Mac release is a big deal because it will finally put the Mac and Windows versions of Office on more equal footing. In addition to bringing back Outlook (no tears will be shed over the death of Entourage), the next version of Office for Mac will include the ribbon interface first introduced in Office 2007. Although Office for Mac 2008 had some of these elements, the next version will really take things a step further.\nAdditionally, some of the newest features from Office 2010 \u2014 like conversation view for Outlook \u2014 will be coming to the Mac version. Even better, the new database system for Outlook for Mac will be compatible with both Time Machine and Spotlight.  This is actually a pretty big deal because one of the problems with Entourage is that it doesn't work well with Time Machine. \nYou can check out the video of the Office for Mac team explaining some of these new changes below:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
