- bknight1983 9y agoIf only Office on macOS actually worked as well as its Windows counterpart
- e40 9y agoI've been using it since the latest version was made available, and early on it crashed from time to time, but I haven't noticed problems for more than a year.
- vetinari 9y agoIt ranges from bugs to missing features. When you import UTF-8 encoded CSV file, you cannot scroll the preview, since todays update. In previous versions, it would crash Excel. You cannot connect to PostgreSQL, unless you use a "blessed" ODBC driver. The one from EnterpriseDB, which works will all other Mac ODBC apps, will make Excel crash. So will your own build from odbc.postgresql.org, no matter which version you try. There are exactly none of the Power* or Inquire features from the Windows Excel.
- crottypeter 9y agoOs X is Unix on the desktop
- Nullabillity 9y agoThat sounds like a minus to me.
- qaq 9y agoWell in most large corp. environments outlook is a thing so if you have no choice but to use it I'd rather use it from OS X.
- Nullabillity 9y agoDoesn't Exchange support IMAP?
- qaq 9y agoyes but IMAP does not help with meeting scheduling, conf. room reservations etc.
- depressedpanda 9y agoI use the Outlook web app for that.
- deadbunny 9y agoOutlooks is far.ore than email. It's email, scheduling, calendars, meeting room bookings etc.. and it's all integrated. Not using outlook in a corp environment is a quick route to madness.
