Microsoft Office 2011 hits RTM

[batchtaster]

Houston, we have RTM! It’s a big Friday in MacBU as we are celebrating the “Release to Manufacturing” of Office for Mac 2011. This means we’ve signed off on final testing and the product is officially getting sent on its way to production and to customers. We’ll be cranking the Microsoft ship siren and celebrating in all of our team locations (Redmond, Microsoft Silicon Valley, Beijing, Dublin and Tokyo), raising a glass to Office 2011!

Nice, I need to set up my work environment before college begins.

Any idea when it will be on shelves?

It's apparently hitting TechNet on 26 October, so I'd imagine that the retail release will be after that.

Is this something new? Office for Mac has never been on Technet before.

Hmm. One of the comments on the linked blog said that according to TechNet, it'd be available for download on the 26th. That comment has now been removed.

Weird because Technet usually doesn't allow the downloading of Mac software.

Indeed, I was surprised to see it, but now that the comment's been removed I'm not holding my breath.

I just went to TechNet and looked around but didn't see anything about it.

It would be most unusual to allow the downloading of Mac software.

It's there

Checked this morning, and it is available on Technet.

Just installed it so I haven't had much time to play around with it but from what I have tested thus far I like it. I plan on bring it to work tomorrow and transfer some files over to play around.
