Three months after it first hit the stores, Microsoft have finally launched a free trial of Office 2011 for Mac. The 30 day trial is fully functional and gives users a long overdue opportunity to decide whether they are willing to invest up to $280 on the full version. I tested the beta version back in April and you can see my in-depth review of the final release here.

Many Mac users will ask why has it taken Microsoft so long to release a trial version of the popular office suite. Is it just Microsoft being typically awkward with Apple users or some kind of marketing ploy? The reasons behind the seemingly belated release are unknown, but if you haven’t tried it yet and are still on Office 2008 it’s definitely worth taking a look at. Office 2011 is a far more polished, OS X-integrated suite with the massive bonus that you can now use Microsoft Outlook.
