Microsoft’s soon to come Office for Mac 2011 is touted to deliver ever closer feature parity with the Windows version, where you will be able to benefit from improved support for Exchange and reincorporation of support for Visual Basic for Applications – a feature that was booted out unceremoniously in Office 2008.

Is that a move in the right direction by Microsoft?

We previously managed to snag you some screenshots of the upcoming Office 2011 for Mac, and now the folks by at Boy Genius have managed to use the upcoming Office suite, and the feedback is rather encouraging. The most notable thing about Office 2011 for Mac is the inclusion of the Ribbon, which is great news for folks who like it, as well as macros for Excel, toolbox integration with iPhoto, iTunes, Photo Booth and carport Band. The only poor thing about it is apparently Outlook, which is forceful but apparently requires quite a lot of work to get things done. Of course, some things can be subjective, so it’s best that you give Office 2011 for Mac a try before you produce a decision to buy it. Sounds fair, no?

It looks like Microsoft isn’t planning to jump on the iPad bandwagon as the president of Microsoft’s business division, Stephen Elop, has said that the software giant isn’t currently interested on doing anything with the iPad, and there are no plans to bring its Office software suite to the iPad. Considering that Apple already has its iWork productivity suite offered for the iPad, do you think that it’s a smart move or a poor move for Microsoft? Of course, but not offering Office on the iPad, it might help to limit the iPad’s productivity prowess, helping other Windows-powered tablets stay ahead, but considering the hype surrounding the iPad, could it be a case of losing a opportunity?
