Microsoft has a page all set up [<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/mac/office2011features/office2011.mspx" target="_blank">link</a>] outlining the features of this updated program, but one feature I like already is the price. $99.00 USD for the Student Version and a mere $119.00 USD for the Home Edition [<a href="http://astore.amazon.com/applethoughts-20/detail/B003YCOJA8" target="_blank">affiliate link</a>]. That being said, if you want Outlook with your office suite, you will have to go with the <a href="http://www.product-reviews.net/2010/08/02/microsoft-office-2011-for-mac-release-date-and-pricing/" target="_blank">Business version that will set you back $199.00</a>, so not too happy about that. Of course there are other choices out there, but check out the review before you make your decision, you might decide it is worth the price. </p>
