Microsoft's moves foreshadow price hike for Mac Office
Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 09/25/2012 07:31 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]
Computerworld reports that Microsoft has announced price increases for its Windows Office suite of as much as 17%, but its plans for Office on the Mac remain a mystery.
The company declined to answer questions about Office for Mac 2011's future pricing and which versions the company will continue to sell.
Although Microsoft will launch the new Office 2013 for Windows users in the coming months -- most signs point to a retail launch in late January or early February 2013 -- it has no immediate plans to significantly upgrade Office for Mac 2011 to synchronize the two editions.
Still, the new price points and editions planned for Office 2013 on Windows -- and importantly, the new Office 365 subscription deals Microsoft will launch -- portray Office for Mac 2011 as out-of-step with the company's strategy.
