cslawren Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Does anyone who has VL access have the SHA1 or MD5 hash of the DMG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbba Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I was hoping the Outlook would support Hotmail a bit better (I was hoping for something similar to the exchange support we have on the iphone :() How does it work? What's limited about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme $niper Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Does 2011 install side by side with 2008 okay? Or will that cause problems? And would this volume license version be the absolute final gold version? Or are they going to change something up before it goes retail? I mean, they have a month or so before release... right?

Brandon H Supervisor Posted September 23, 2010 Supervisor Share Posted September 23, 2010 Does 2011 install side by side with 2008 okay? Or will that cause problems? i would assume this would be the same as on windows (multiple versions of office don't play nice together) it is still a microsoft product after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 i would assume this would be the same as on windows (multiple versions of office don't play nice together) it is still a microsoft product after all What does it being from Microsoft have anything to do with the fact that two versions side-by-side don't function well together? And I don't think that's even true, because I had Office 2008 and Office 2011 Beta installed on the same system and they worked completely fine.

what Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 You can have 2011 installed alongside 2008 just fine. In fact, when I installed 2011 and the autoupdater ran, it found an update for 2008 :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need that month to press the final version onto discs and stock retailers. You can't RTM tomorrow and have it in stores around the world the same day.

Xtreme $niper Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 i would assume this would be the same as on windows (multiple versions of office don't play nice together) it is still a microsoft product after all Well in this case I know that the two programs can co-exist just fine in their basic form as an application, but my main concern was the Application Settings data in the Library or the Microsoft User Data folder in Documents would have conflicts between the two different versions... Then I remembered that on my old Mac I had 2004 and 2008 installed side by side without any issues... I think the only issue came up when I tried to uninstall 2004 and it ended up removing some of the vitals from 2008... That's what you get when you have to use Installer.app to install/uninstall something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Office versions play together fine, the only product you can't install two of at the same time on Windows is outlook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avlor Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Someone has reported there's no iCal integration in Outlook.. What the hell? From what I've seen in beta, there's no way to sync Outlook with iPhone via iTunes directly, so I was crossing fingers for that being added before the final release. Quite a shame it did not. Is there a workaround that would sync my iPhone with Outlook calendars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migra Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I want to test Outlook with Hotmail, Entourage sucks terribly on this, it duplicates all of my emails, it ignores I already have them locally on my machine and download them again and again and again and ....... ?? :crazy: it really ****es me of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorbing Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 So what is the final RTM build? Microsoft Office 2011 14.0.0 (build 100825) or Microsoft Office 2011 14.0.0 (build 100825.3) or are they the same? I read the final build was 100825.3 but when you open Office 2011 and go where it says "ABOUT" is says: Build 100825 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rawr_boy81 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Beats me. I have 100825. Seems final. I second that; I pulled it straight from Microsoft and 100825 is the latest version.

+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted September 24, 2010 Author Subscriber² Share Posted September 24, 2010 I've been using Office 2011 RTM for the past few days. It's a definite improvement over Office 2008. Something I just found: If you don't like the ribbon colour, you can make it look more native-ish in Word/Excel/Powerpoint. Click on the settings button on the outer right of the ribbon -> Ribbon preferences -> under Appearance set it to 'Graphite'. Result: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Yeah that option has been there in the betas as well. Makes the application look more appealing IMO. Although you can't set Outlook's ribbon to use the same color, which I don't understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expecting 100% consistency across all MS Office apps would be too much to ask for. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawr_boy81 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I know I've said this too many times but I love Outlook; I'm using the notes function, the calendaring, the mail function to its full potential. Using Office for Mac is no longer like hammering nails into my eyes - Word is super snappy and reliable, everything happen so fast. I've transferred files between university and home, not a single formatting issue. I can't wait till 2013 comes out with hopefully a fully Cocoa application like Outlook is.

.Neo Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I honestly can't deal with the lack of smooth scrolling. Especially not when owning a Magic Trackpad and Magic Mouse. You can tell there's a huge difference in performance between Outlook and the rest of the applications. Outlook feels responsive, quick, has little to no weird interface quirks. Then you have Word, Excel and PowerPoint which are filled with quirks, poor animations, slow performance, weird menus and toolbars and no smooth scrolling. However, why on Earth won't Outlook integrate with Mac OS X? No iCal and notes syncing is a deal breaker to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Neo Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Which is lacking smooth scrolling? Word, PowerPoint and Excel all lack smooth scrolling. Not a shocker since its still the same aging stuff given a fresh lick of paint. Only Outlook has been rewritten pretty much from the ground up, which clearly shows.

Meh, its functional; i don't see anything wrong; the scroll bar isn't jumping around when I use the scroll gesture. What do you mean by 'lacking' - what is wrong with the current situation?

Rudy Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 How does it work? What's limited about it? It uses pop3 so if I read a msg in Outlook it won't show as read on my hotmail or my iPhone etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean by 'lacking' - what is wrong with the current situation? If you're not using one of the Apple-made mousing devices (like the trackpads or the Magic Mouse), you'll notice the scroll jumping around. The Apple-made devices make up for the lack of smooth scrolling in poorly done apps, but it also reduces the scrolling performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 They don't make up for it fully though. It's still jerky compared to, let's say, Pages. And yea performance does take a hit. Meh, its functional; i don't see anything wrong; the scroll bar isn't jumping around when I use the scroll gesture. What do you mean by 'lacking' - what is wrong with the current situation? Mac OS 9 and Windows 98 are functional as well, that doesn't mean they're up to today's standards. "Lacking" means something isn't available. So to rephrase myself: Microsoft Excel, Powerpoint and Word 2011 don't have smooth scrolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
