While we're on topic of Office for Mac 2011, I can find zero information
on MS's site regarding the removed hidden data tools in Office for Mac.
As an attorney, these features are essential. The tools in Office 2007
and 2010 for Windows are very robust, and even Office 2003 had a
rudimentary tool. The "remove personal information from file on save"
isn't good enough. Other than that, Mac Office (and particularly Mac
Word) has had zero capability. The software is effectively unusable if
I'm sending a document outside the organization. I need to first run it
through Word for Windows.
Anyone with any intel on whether the Mac Business Unit has finally
pulled their collective heads out of their [insert favorite body part
here] and included any of these tools? Apparently everyone in the MBU
at MS feels that all the Mac Office users must be graphics professionals
rather than folks who need to manage information that's released outside
the government.
Any info would be appreciated.

I haven't noticed slowness or CPU hog. But both of my machines are
powerhouses. One a MacBook pro 17 with i7 processor and the other a
macro with two quad processors.

Now keep in mind we do not use CAC or certs here so we are in a
different boat than most, but Outlook is nice enough I am not using
Apple mail at the moment.

some information with you. While there are some significant gains and
huge advantages bundled into this new release (including the return of
Outlook to the Mac), there are certainly some inconsistencies when
compared to the 2010 Windows version. Here's the Mac Business Unit's own
comparison of their own product to the Windows version:
