upgrade office home and student 2010 to home and business

My only hesitation in recommending Office 2011 whole-heartedly for business users: The licensing terms for the Home and Business edition, which prohibit you from installing the suite on more than one machine unless you buy the Multi-Pack, aren’t great.

(Note: We’re continuing to test cross-platform compatibility we’ll let you know what we find as soon as we can.) More significantly, now that Visual Basic for Applications is back on the Mac, you can feel confident that macros you create on your Mac will work fine for anyone else, regardless of their machine.

If, for example, you add things like conditional formatting, sparklines, or pivot tables to a spreadsheet on your Mac, they should appear exactly the same on a Windows machine. There’s also better file compatibility: Documents, spreadsheets, and presentations created on one platform should open perfectly on the other. And you can switch from one platform to another yourself without undue confusion there’s greater feature parity between the Mac and Windows suites than ever before.

Start with the suite’s powerful co-editing tools: You and your co-workers or clients can all edit Office documents at the same time, regardless of whether you’re using the Windows or Mac version.
