so far everything looks crappy on my Retina display.

non of my apps are high def enough for my screen, this thing is too high def, every website I go to looks crappy !!

Si I take it that this is a free update? Do we have to go directly to the Office for Mac site to download the update? Does anyone know the version number of this update? 14.x.x?

I love this contradiction.

I did a manual install (didn't show up in Autoupdate). Well, my office looks just as crappy as before (perhaps SLIGHTLY better, but by no means Retina-ready). Verified the version number - 14.2.4 IS installed).

 

[wackymacky]

What about office 2013? That's what I want to hear about ;-)

 

[spartig]

Does it stop it from crashing on start up with 18.8?

Well, I doubt it! But it's hard to tell because I haven't been to the future. LOL

This is brilliant news, I had fully prepared myself for my last year at Uni to be pixelated.

Update appears to be broken

Installed and verified that I'm now running 14.2.4. I took a screenshot before and after the update. There's no change. Something must be broken in the update.


Left is pre-update. Right is post-update.

I gotta hand it to Microsoft. Between genuinely coming up with a new/different OS experience in Windows 8 (Not an endorsement outright), and quick updates like this, they're at least trying again.

True, they are trying. However, what they are trying isn't very good. Windows 8 sucks!

Just ran AutoUpdate... nothing there...

Same here. No updates available.

Pretty impressed with Microsoft, that was a quick turnaround. MS and Apple working in harmony, who woulda thunk.

 

[espoir]

Nothing's changed after the update for me

 

[AFPoster]

No updates for me to get, and I just dropped Outlook for Google Apps.

 

[Chupa Chupa]

Weeeeeeeeeeeee!

And they say miracles don't really happen.

Updated via link; still have bad graphics.

 

[maflynn]

Count me in with the folks who are not seeing anything.

 

[franciscosjb]

same here, it doesn't look any better

same here, no frakkin difference... I was about to say, about frakkin time.. but nope.

 

[Boomhowler]

Have they fixed that emails with 16pt font size in outlook mac turns up with 12-13pt size on windows outlook? (or 20-14.. or 12 turns up at ~9.. = crap)

 

[Bobby Boucher]

Updated via link; still have bad graphics.

Oh Microsoft... you're the microsoftiest!

 

[embraceware]

It looks like they pulled it from auto-update because it doesn't work. As others have noted already. I installed it and there was no change to text or graphics...

 

[pgiguere1]

No, they said that they could not comment on future updates. Then every blog ran with a headline like "Microsoft does not plan to update..."

You're right, I didn't read the original comment by Microsoft. Not sure how tech blogs came to that conclusion

Misinformation for more pageviews usually never happens on the internet. /s

So... I ran that. And everything still looks like crap. Maybe the Retina update isn't available for download yet...
