Couldn't see a thread for this, and I know a lot of people hated Office 2008..
Can't say I'll ever need 64 bit for Word, but it would be nice for the larger Excel spreadsheets I use for work (that iWork simply falls flat on). Mainly the Macro support, and Office 2008 is so poor I cannot even use it.
On the plus side for Office 2011, they've upgraded the UI so it resembles the Windows version a lot more closely. Look at the top 2 small pictures for the current UI differences.. pretty awful. Now look at the bottom 2 pictures. A step in the right direction if you ask me
Set for release this fall, Microsoft's Office for Mac 2011 will only be available as a 32-bit product because it hasn't completely transitioned to Cocoa for Mac OS X.
Microsoft's Mac OS X development team, MacBU, updated its official website this week to note that its members are at WWDC 2010 this week, taking part in Apple's developer sessions. The team revealed that their focus has been to increase compatibility between the Windows and Mac versions of Office, which means a 64-bit option on the Mac won't happen this year.
