It’s faster, more powerful, and much more business oriented than the older e-mail software on the Macintosh. They will find this new application to be a major improvement over their previous choices. Macintosh users upgrading from Mac Mail or Entourage will like it. So what's my verdict, will you like Outlook 2011?
I've been using Outlook 2011 for a while now, and by now I know it well. Also note that you cannot buy Outlook 2011 separately from the Office suite.
Be sure to buy the version called Microsoft Office for Mac Home and Business 2011 since the less expensive Home and Student version doesn’t include Outlook. Note, should you be planning to purchase Outlook 2011 for the Mac, be aware that it comes as part of the new Microsoft Office for Mac 2011, which includes Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
