The new version makes the suite look a lot more like its. The ribbon layouts are the same between OS X and Windows, and the title bars and ribbon headers of the apps are boldly colored in each application's respective color. But consistency between OS X and Windows is not absolute, and respect is paid to OS X design norms. For example, Office for Mac doesn't include the 'backstage' area that the Windows apps show when you go to the 'File' menu, instead using more traditional menus, dialogs, and settings panes for this kind of thing.

Both sets of desktop apps similarly take styling cues from the various touch Office apps that Microsoft has released; it's clear that Microsoft is trying to make sure that its apps look and feel similar whether you're using them on a smartphone, tablet, or computer.

Perhaps the most important features across the updated suite are the integration of OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, and SharePoint, and making the apps 'fully' Retina aware. Office 2011 made the main document areas Retina-capable, but portions of the user interface were not.

The cloud connectivity trickles down into Word, with better simultaneous collaborative editing capabilities and threaded comments. Recent files lists will also roam between machines, making it easier to pick up where you left off even on different devices. PowerPoint similarly supports co-authoring and threaded commenting.

For Excel, the biggest changes are support for Windows keyboard shortcuts and inclusion of 'most' Excel 2013 for Windows functions. Quick notes: It requires Mac OS X 10.10 and Mac Office is still 32-bit (due to Visual Basic). It installs things into the following folders /Library/LaunchDaemons/ /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/ /Library/Application Support/ The first two are for licensing (DRM/serial numbers/whatever) The last one is for the auto updater as it needs to be outside the apps. They also do not support Sudden Termination or App Nap features of Mac OS X. Luckily, they are sandboxed.

So there's that. Edit: I meant to say /Library/LaunchDaemons/. Lunch Daemons are an entirely different problem. 2900 posts registered Sep 4, 2005.
