After essentially ignoring the productivity needs of Apple computer owners for three years, a fully updated Office suite, offering the same functionality as the PC version, is finally on its way. The last time Microsoft launched a new Mac edition of Office — Office:mac 2011 — was actually back in 2010. Adding to the uncertanty is that historically, Microsoft has only offered full support to an Apple version of Office for five years, compared with the 10 years of support it offers PC versions. However, at this weeks CeBIT tech fair in Hanover, Germany, Microsofts Thorsten Hübschen confirmed that a new Mac-centric Office suite is on the way and should debut before the end of the year.
