Made with Mac in mind, Office 2016 for Mac gives you access to your favorite Office applications - anywhere, anytime and with anyone. Includes new versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote. Embedded Help: Excel Windows vs. Excel Mac I've just updated from the 11 year old Office for Mac to Office 365 for Mac ($99/yr subscription version). I'm impressed by the number of new features.
I hope the Office:Mac team will make up their minds what interface to use on OS X. Ribbon, toolbar or menu?
Personally I'd prefer menu + toolbar, but I wouldn't mind if they ditched the toolbar and placed ALL commands on the ribbon, and made them identical to the Windows version. Not sure about removing the menu bar, it may look unappealing just with the application menu. Also, too many arcane shortcuts that seem to take 'full advantage' of the Mac keyboard, with high reliance on both Command and Control, or the real Enter key (fn-Return)! For example you do Ctrl+Enter on Windows in Word to break the page.

I've noticed some advantages: Excel 2011 keyboard can be customized, whereas 2013 not ( IIRC). But the keywords to customize it are all CamelCase and hard to find (still better than how you customize keys globally in OS X system preferences where you have to guess an unused key combination). I also find my way much easier in the menu bar with help, than the help-less ribbon in Windows.
