![]() Click to expand.I'm not picking nits with you as it's a pretty decent point regarding PD, however, my purchases of PD and perfect compatibility went from version-to-version 3-5-7-10 and I didn't skip a OS X update. I'll make a Yosemite VM and nest a Win VM inside it if PD 10 won't run on 10.11. I ran XP SP3 for several years without issue and 8.1 has been bulletproof. I still have my XP Pro VM and fired it up just a couple of months ago - no problems with it - PD is easier to network than a native Win install IMO. My Win 8.1 upgrade was $10 from XP and my Win 10 update will cost me $0. 9 years of Win OSes plus a couple of more years of Win 10 for about $139 isn't too bad - I still hate the Registry with white hot passion, tho'. Personally and for my small company, I'm not at all disappointed in the Office suite update. 64-bit apps are a non-issue to me, even as an Office suite app user before Office even existed (1989) - when was the last time you worked on an Excel workbook that needed more than 2GB of file space or 64,000 worksheets? Excel isn't intended to be a repository of data - it's a data processor, and I've helped design two light rail lines and report budgets of tens of millions of dollars (in one workbook) with Excel's help. If anything, Office 2016 is almost too much of a Mac application, because instead of putting everything on the ribbon the way Office does on Windows, it both splits and duplicates features between. As to Word/PowerPoint, the same file size constraints apply, and I really don't use Outlook for the Mac yet - it's only been out of beta for a few days now. The bigger issue IMHO with the Office apps relative to 32/64-bit is that - in my office - all 14 of the add-ins we use are all 32-bit and won't work with 64-bit apps - on both Windows and OS X, an 'issue' that MS has tried to address for several years now on both OS platforms - I'm having the exactly the same problem related by bubsdaddy. Most of the add-ins developers wrote their code in older code and won't update them or they're just too damned lazy, likely the former perspective because there's not a lot of coin in that realm any longer for most of them. My Win Office installs are all 32-bit, as is the Win OS. If you 'need' more data headspace, then you're not using Office apps - you've already made that call to Oracle or one of their competitors. Aside from the Gawd-aweful long start times, I haven't had any issues with Office 2016. Once Word or Excel are up and running, they run just as fast as 2011 did. I've really been impressed with the Onedrive sync. Edit a file and save it, and it's updated instantaneously on my PC. I edited a file in Pages the other day and tried to open it this morning from iCloud. None of my edits were there. Thankfully, I cross-save to my local so no harm but still. It's an iCloud problem (nothing to do with Pages) and it's been happening a lot lately. Apple needs to get on their J O B.
