In fact, Thursday’s announcement was the second the company made this week to expand its Office business, which next to Windows remains the main profit driver at Microsoft.

Microsoft has definitely been feeling the pressure on its Office business not only from Apple’s gains in PC market share, but also from free or low-cost competitive applications from Google and others. That’s going to give Apple a pile of time to evangelize to folks.”

“There are still some things Outlook could offer that Apple’s integration with Exchange might not offer-we’ll have to see. “Apple is going after business users with these types of features,” Gartenberg said of native Exchange support. With this move imminent, Microsoft’s inclusion of Outlook in Office for Mac at the end of next year might be too little, too late, he said.

Yesterday, MacBU recommended that customers running Office for Mac 2004 migrate to Office 365, the line of subscription plans that lets users install Office for Mac Home & Business 2011 on up to five Macs. Office for Mac 2008 dropped support for Visual Basic macros, but that support was restored in Office for Mac 2011. Microsoft extended support for Office for Mac 2004 to allow its users, many of whom relied on Visual Basic-based macros, time to migrate to the impending Office for Mac 2011, which launched in October 2010. "This extension does not change the five-year support policy for other Office for Mac products, including future versions," a senior product manager said then. But Microsoft's last-minute reprieve of Office for Mac 2004 was a one-time deal, as the MacBU made plain at the time. The speedy retirement of Office for Mac 2008 is not new: Users faced the same five-year support lifespan for Office for Mac 2004, which was shut down in January 2012.Īdmittedly, that was over two years later than the original deadline. For consumer software, meanwhile, it states: "Microsoft will offer Mainstream Support for either a minimum of 5 years from the date of a product's general availability, or for 2 years after the successor product (N+1) is released, whichever is longer." "Microsoft will offer a minimum of 10 years of support for Business and Developer products," the company says. On its support lifecycle FAQ, Microsoft explains support for business and consumer software. At the same time it categorizes all editions of Office on OS X as consumer products. For some reason, Microsoft considers all editions of Office for Windows as business products, no matter that some - like Home and Student - cannot be used for commercial purposes.
