While the rest of Office 2011 is stuck at version 14.x, the next release of Office for Windows (and the related server products, including Exchange) is already being called Wave 16. Opening the “About Outlook” dialog reveals that the program’s official name is “Microsoft Outlook for Mac”, and the initially shipped version is labeled as version 15.3. One immediately interesting thing about the new version of Outlook is that it no longer includes a version number or year in its official name. What’s in the new Outlook, and how does it stack up against its Windows cousin? Most importantly, what does the future hold for Office on the Mac? Since the release of Outlook 2011 for Mac, Apple has released four major versions of Mac OS X, Microsoft released Windows 8 and 8.1, and the Office team released Office 2013-not to mention the many changes and updates to Outlook Web App both for web browsers and mobile devices. Office 2011 for Mac was actually released in October 2010, and, while it was hailed at the time for being a major improvement over its predecessor, lately it’s been showing its age. Like cars, Microsoft products often get a bonus year added on to their names.
