Microsoft Office remainsthe gold standard of productivity suites, but there are several different versions/editions of Office available for users of Apple hardware. Together with Parallels Desktop and Parallels Access, the Apple user can access just about any of these versions/editions on each of their hardware platforms.

1. Mac Vs Windows
2. Microsoft For Mac
3. Mac Vs Microsoft Windows Operating Systems
4. Mac Vs Windows 10
5. Microsoft Teams Mac Vs Windows
6. Mac Vs Microsoft Operating System

While Microsoft produces all of these suites and the suites have a very high degree of similar functionality and visual fidelity, they are not identical, and no single suite has all the features of the entire group.

This blog post will enumerate most of the differences between the following suites and their apps:

• Office 2016 for Windows (“WinOffice 2016”)
• Office 2016 for Mac (“MacOffice 2016”)
• Office 2013 for Windows (“WinOffice 2013”)
• Office 2011 for Mac (“MacOffice 2011”)
• Office for iPad (“iPad Office”)

The vast bulk of the content in this post is in the following five tables, which list the differences I found. Note that because the tables lists differences, no row of the table will be all checkmarks (since this would mean that all the suites had this feature, and thus this wasn’t a difference) nor will any row be all “X”s (since this would mean that no suite had this feature, and thus it isn’t a difference either). I am listing the differences because listing the similarities would take much too much room—the suites are that identical.

Hopefully, this will assist you in choosing the best version/edition for your use. In addition, I will describe my personal Office setup.

Here are the five tables (click on each thumbnail for an enlarged view):

Table 2: Word differences

Table 3: Excel differences

Table 4: PowerPoint differences

Table 5: Outlook differences

What differences surprised me the most? These two:

Right-to-left language support in iPad Office:

WinOffice has had support for right-to-left languages like Arabic and Hebrew for many years. While Mac users have been asking for such support, no version of MacOffice, even the latest MacOffice 2016, has had such support. Therefore, I was quite pleasantly surprised when iPad Office added support for Arabic, Hebrew, and Thai.(See Figure 1.)

No multiple selection support in iPad PowerPoint:

All Office programs provide some way to select content in a document (text, cells, or shapes, for example). This is needed so that the user can apply some operation on just that content (change the color, for example). The Windows or Mac Office applications also provide for “advanced” types of selections. In Word, this is non-contiguous text selections; in Excel this is non-contiguous cell selections; and in PowerPoint this is the simultaneous selection of multiple objects. In Word and Excel, these really are advanced types of selections that are rarely needed by even sophisticated users of Word or Excel. (See Figures 2 and 3.)

Figure 3: Non-contiguous text selection in MacWord 2011.

But in PowerPoint, the ability to select multiple objects is a pretty basic capability. Microsoft outlook for mac schedule email address. (See Figure 4.)

I wasn’t surprised to learn that non-contiguous selections were not supported in iPad Word or iPad Excel, but I was astonished and very disappointed to learn that multiple selections were not supported in iPad PowerPoint.

Microsoft For Mac

My Use of Office

So, which do I use? The short answer is that I use all of them.

I worked on the MacOffice team at Microsoft for several years, and at that time I also worked closely with colleagues on the WinOffice teams. Because of this background, I am often able to pick just the right Office app that will make a given task the easiest to do. One task might be particularly well suited to MacWord 2011 because Publishing Layout View—a feature only in that one Word version—will make this task easy. Another task might be suited to WinPPT because of the Animation Painter, which is not in any MacPPT version. Yet another task might be best suited to WinPPT 2013 because it needs an Office extension not available in other Office suites.

Having all the versions of Office at your fingertips used to be rather hard to setup, not to mention very expensive. Luckily, that is no longer the case.

With a single Office 365 Home subscription, you get five installs of the Office suite and you can pick which versions make up this set of five. Since I have Parallels Desktop for Mac Pro Edition on my Mac, I can run any version of Windows without rebooting. Because I have different versions of Windows running on my Mac, I can also run different versions of WinOffice on my Mac and have everything I need on one computer. (You can download a free trial of Parallels Desktop for Mac here.) Here’s my setup:

• MacOffice 2011 is my main productivity suite and is installed on my El Capitan MacBook Pro. MacOutlook 2016 came out long before the entire MacOffice 2016 suite, and because of the vastly improved performance of MacOutlook 2016, I use it as my main email client, instead of MacOutlook 2011.
• WinOffice 2013 is installed in a Windows 7 virtual machine (VM) (under Parallels Desktop for Mac Pro Edition) on my MacBook Pro.
• iPad Office is installed on my iPad. As you saw in the tables above, iPad Office is lacking many of the features of WinOffice and MacOffice, so I also haveParallels Accesson my iPad which lets me access and run the full featured versions of any Office suite (or any other application) on my computers and use them with natural iPad gestures. (You can download a free trial of Parallels Access for iOS and Android to access your Mac and/or PC atwww.parallels.com/access).
• MacOffice 2016 is installed in an El Capitan VM (under Parallels Desktop for Mac Pro Edition) on my MacBook Pro.
• WinOffice 2016 is installed in a Windows 10 VM (under Parallels Desktop for Mac Pro Edition) on my MacBook Pro.

So, why don’t I use MacOffice 2016 as my main productivity suite? Four reasons:

• Only MacWord 2011 has Publishing Layout View, a feature I depend on heavily and consider essential.
• To me, MacOffice 2016 has a kind of cartoon-like look to the user interface that just doesn’t appeal to me.
• There was no compelling feature pulling me to MacOffice 2016, and
• Inertia was keeping me in MacOffice 2011.

Those are my five installs, and with this setup, I have easy and immediate access to the best Office app for any particular task. I tend to store all my documents on Dropbox so that I have easy access to them from any of my Office suites or Apple platforms.

Mac vs Windows

Macintosh and Windows are two different computer systems, and they run on different operating systems. A Mac computer runs on a Unix-based operating system that is designed and sold by Apple. The operating system being used currently for Macs is Mac OS X, and it is designed around graphic interface. The Windows-based computers operate on different operating systems which are made by Microsoft, and some of these are: Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. These Windows-based operating systems can be used on a variety of PCs which are widely used.

Mac Vs Windows 10

Mac computers have a built-in security system and are less prone to attacks by viruses most of which come from the Internet. Mac OS X was designed with security as the top priority, and this was successfully achieved. Computers running on Windows do not come with their own security, and one has to purchase antivirus software for protection against viruses which have to be updated everyday to ensure that they can handle the latest virus threats. PCs that run on Windows are widely used, and this is another reason why many viruses are designed to attack them. These viruses cannot attack Macs since the two operate using different file types. Windows is also more vulnerable to being hacked by other people who may want to access some information from your computer.

Since Macs are designed around a graphical user interface, they are mostly used for graphics and multimedia services like photo editing, and that explains why Photoshop was first used in Macs. They can also be used for educational purposes since they are easier to use. Windows is widely used for most office functions as it is best suited for office use.
Macs are more expensive than Windows for computers with the same specifications. The initial costs of Macs are expensive because they come with many built-in features like security systems unlike Windows where you have to purchase the antivirus software separately. Macs also have more applications than Windows, and this also adds to the cost. However, Macs normally give the owners value for their money in the long term since they are usually designed to stay for long and can run the latest software available in the market. Windows PCs that are a bit older cannot run the latest software, and one has to constantly upgrade the hardware or buy a new PC.

Troubleshooting in Macs is very easy because they have very good architecture and simplicity. If a given application running in Macs encounters a problem, it is normally detected and repaired automatically. Windows architecture is very complex, and troubleshooting may even take days. If a certain problem causes a Mac not to boot, the problem is easily solved by reinstalling the system only. For Windows, you have to reinstall the system and all other applications.

Summary:

Microsoft Teams Mac Vs Windows

1.Macs are made by Apple, Inc. while Windows is made by Microsoft.

2.Macs have a built-in security system while this is separately purchased for Windows.
3.Windows is normally used for business use while Macs are mostly used for graphics and multimedia services.
4.For the same specifications, Macs are more expensive than Windows PCs.
5.Troubleshooting is easier in Macs than in Windows.
