So far so good. I bought office 2011 for mac home and business edition to get outlook and I have been pretty impressed. Not 1 single crash on any app after two weeks of burning the midnight oil. Having just switched from a PC to a Mac I didn't want to lose Outlook or PowerPoint since I'm familiar with them and like the Windows versions as well. Some aspects of Office are even better on the Mac than on Windows?!?! Microsoft did a pretty good job on Office 2011. If things change, I'll update this post.

The new office was not crashing before the update. However since the update the Reply and Forward functions do not work in Outlook. I have reverted to Apple Mail. Is anybody else seeing this?

That'd be hilarious if you ran Word update and it downloaded iWork.

Can you finally scroll through unseen portions of the ribbon, or do you still have to resize the whole window? Not even a frickin >> button like on the toolbar!!

HELLO, QA, ARE YOU IN THERE?

I've had no problems with any components of Office 2011 and have been even more happy turning off the damned ribbon.

Thank God! I can't believe how often Outlook was crashing. Sometimes multiple times per minute.

Here's hoping this update fixes the issues.
