Microsoft updates a 5 year old software… 😐 thanks?, Microsoft…
They still update Office 2007 for Windas on the dark side of my Mac.
Actually, if Microsoft is fixing security holes on old software, then I have to give them some credit. Contrast that approach with Google, who cannot be bothered with patching software that is currently in use in tens of millions of Android phones.
Given the choice, I will take Microsoft, and that is saying something coming from a die-hard Apple fan from the late 1970s who suffered through the late 1980s and 1990s.
it makes sense for them to update 5 year old software. Do you want to spend $140 on something every year when the old version will work perfectly and the new one might only be marginally better?
^ ….for the second time in a couple months, actually…
Noted.
Except their last update bricked email for a lot of us. Yeah, thanks Microsoft’
You shouldn’t be using Outlook anyway… That’s your fault.
Not my fault that it is part of the required software load at work. Sometimes reality bites, but you don’t have any choice.
Use something else than Microsh$t people. There are some good alternatives out there.
How can you release an update that prevents the main Outlook window from opening and not notice? Bizarre! Thank god for Time Machine which quickly undid that nightmare for my customers who suffered as a result. Question is does 14.5.1 break anything else? I think 14.4.9 will do for now…
Got Office 2011 14.5.0 but have never installed Outlook (!) so no Update file for me. Yeah!
I wish everyone would abandon Microsoft Office. I barely use it myself.
I use NeoOffice myself and have been Windoze free since 2001. Libre Office is also a good alternative. 🖖😀⌚️
I’ve used both. I’ve been able to create documents in Pages and Numbers, and convert them to Word and Excel for Windows users without them having any problems.
