One of my favorite additions to the Office Suite is the “Notebook” template, which is very much like the Notebook offering made by, without any significant cost differential. I still have to figure out the ribbon UI in Windows and gave up long ago. In fact, I would claim that the Mac version is better than the Windows version. The various tools and tabs on the ribbon are useful and intuitive. Among other things, the user interface has improved dramatically.

Office Mac 2011 is definitely an upgrade from the 2008 version.
