“Earlier this year, rumors suggested that Microsoft was preparing to launch a new version of Office for Mac in 2014, and now images of what is said to be a new version of Outlook have surfaced on Chinese site cnBeta, suggesting Microsoft is drawing closer to releasing updated Mac Office software,” Juli Clover reports for MacRumors.
“Depicting ‘Outlook for Mac 16,’ the images show a new version of Outlook that’s been updated with a new OS X Yosemite-style look, adopting translucent menu elements and a flatter overall design,” Clover reports. “The interface takes on a ‘simple, modern style,’ according to cnBeta, which is “more intuitive” and it includes support for Retina displays much like Office 2011 for Mac.”
Clover reports, “Microsoft’s last major Office for Mac release came in October of 2010, more than four years ago, and there’s been little information about an updated version of the software since then.”
