Microsoft previews Office for Mac 2011

Really looking forward to this - day one purchase for me.

Can anyone tell me if the new Office 2011 support multiple exchange accounts like Entourage?

why can't microsoft do Office that opens in less than 20sec!
This is plain rediculous

I don't quite understand the spotlight thing. There is spotlight integration in entourage (they touted this feature) and there is a whole pref screen for it so not sure what is different. You can select just spotlight searching of message text and/or attachments.

On the other hand, the 2 features that will be killers with outlook in our office are ability to finally run time machine without using terabytes of backup space, and .pst support (why they couldn't simply write an importer/exporter in the last 10 years I have no idea)

Still missing OneNote on the Mac. It's such an awesome Notetaking/Collaboration/... App.

I can't wait for this to come out. I would like to use Apple iWork, but it simply isn't as full featured as Office. Also, I really want to replace Office 2008 because it can sometimes be a dog in terms of performance.

I just want to note here that I absolutely hate Outlook for Windows and the idea of it coming to the Mac is terrifying. While I admit that Entourage is hardly good, Outlook surely isn't the solution to the problem because the whole thing is just so bloated, slow, and just plain annoying. That said, since I am no longer permitted to use a Mac at work I am now restricted to using a company laptop with Windows and therefore will not be experiencing the joys of Outlook for the Mac. At home I'll get a copy of Office 2011 (we're still on Office 2004) but I'll be sticking with Mail, Address Book and iCal simply because they are so much faster.

I just noticed, The macbook with an open word document on the image on the linked page isn't using word 2011. Again, sluggish MS!

I've been running the beta since April and it is such an improvement from the 2008 version. It is much more natural going from PC versions to the Mac version which makes WAY more sense. Most of us already know how to use Word, so why not make it work the way we know?

And Outlook on mac is freaking awesome. Entourage was the bane of my existence. Outlook is easily the best piece of software MS has ever written. It is most definitely welcome here on my Mac(s).

Oh, and one other thing.... Preview on Attachments in Outlook works, just like in Finder!!!

You can click an attachment, push "Space" and it comes up in Quick Preview.
