Apple has introduced a Microsoft Office suite for users through its Macintosh OS application store. The package includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote and OneDrive applications as part of Microsoft Office 365 applications.
Apple said the availability of the package worldwide could take up to 24 hours depending on your location, and Microsoft had promised to provide Office applications through the Mac store by the end of 2018.
The user needs a Microsoft Office 365 package to use Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, the same versions that were previously available to Macintosh owners through the Microsoft Web site.
The biggest advantage is that Office applications are automatically updated through Apple´s App Store instead of Microsoft´s MAU, which is typically used to update Office for Macintosh.
"Apple and Microsoft have worked together to bring the Office productivity suite to Mac users from the very beginning," said Apple´s vice president of marketing, Phil Schiller, "and now it´s easier to get the latest and best version of Microsoft´s package. Office for Macintosh, iPad and iPhone users. "
Microsoft offers a trial version of one month of the package and then the consumer has to choose the Office 365 Personal package at $ 6.99 per month or the Office 365 Home package at $ 9.99 per month.
The Office 365 Home package allows Office applications for up to six people on PCs or Macs, each with an additional storage capacity of 1TB of OneDrive service and 60 minutes of Skype calls per month.
