Download Microsoft office 2011 for Mac (Free Trial)
– Yes, you can now download, install and try Office 2011 free for a month (30 days to be precise)! We earlier told you about the Office for mac 2011 release and its enhanced features. But there wasn’t any free trial made available then, and users could only try Microsoft’s Office 2008 for Mac. However, Office 2011 is a significant improvement over Office 2008 and it is not the right one to try, if you intend evaluating and buying Microsoft Office 2011.
Though Microsoft released Office 2011 for mac in 2010, they did release a free Office 2011 trial only now. We had been waiting for this free download for long, but were surprised that microsoft wasn’t making it available to its Mac users! There were some fake articles on the web stating that the trial could be downloaded for free and many of them pointed to Microsoft Technet and MSDN portals. But they did nothing more than disappointing the users, as they could not find it there.
Microsoft always had the policy of making available for free download, trial versions of all its popular software. You could still download windows 7 free trial and also try the microsoft office 2010 download for free!
Why should you download office 2011 for Mac?
Microsoft office is still the world’s most popular and widely used Office suite of applications! Hence, there is always going to be demand for Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac, as people need a way to access their Office documents. Microsoft does offer free online storage of 25 GB via Windows Live Sky Drive that also hosts Microsoft Office Online, to open, view, edit, save and download office documents. But, Mac users (and users in general) will still prefer an office suite that runs on their computers, without the need for connecting to internet.
Microsoft did release office 2008 and now office 2011 for Mac, as there are large number of Mac users in U.S and other parts of the world. Though microsoft has done well to introduce significant enhancements to this latest edition, we were surprised by the lack of trial version and just when we thought that microsoft had no intentions of making one available, we find the page for downloading a free trial! Thank you Microsoft.
All the popular software manufacturers do make available a trial version of their software for free download, as it definitely helps in enticing the users to buy a licensed version. From a user’s perspective, the trial is necessary to see whether it meets all their essential needs and also does whatever the developers claim. Thus, it only makes sense for microsoft to release a free trial of Office 2011, like any of its other products.
