Odd, Outlook and Word seem fine for me as far as being the same with same preferences.

Slow down, Daniel. I just amended my previous post with information that it's only using two threads; not all that are available per your CPU.
I can sort by recipients in different folders. I can also have different sorting in different folders if I want.
I'll take the speed improvements I can get.
WARNING: If you have very large databases with demanding formulas/macros, DO NOT UPDATE to this version if you need them to be ready to work. This new version re-calculates the spreadsheets from scratch if you didn't save it in a 16x version.
I just hope they improve the performance instead. i am using windows through bootcamp just because office just works so bad on my macbook
I guess you missed the huge update Final Cut Pro and the other pro video apps just got, plus the other iWork updates from 2017.
Along with these feature changes, version 16 of Office 2016 for Mac includes an overhaul of the underlying code for Office, PowerPoint, and Excel, introducing more common code between platforms to ensure better feature parity.
Doesn't seem like it, since Outlook for Mac is still very crippled and missing many features found in the Windows version. Makes it difficult to work in mixed platform company without asking Windows users to restrict their use of those features. Good luck making that happen

Yes - but you cannot define a subfolder (from sent messages) to sort by date and showing the recipients address instead of my own name.
Only the orig. send messages folder is able to do that.
And I can check/uncheck the reading pane only globally... With Outlook for Win I can do it like I want to... Since decades!
Don't forget what Phil said:
"It'd be great to have a developer come and show us what's possible with professional productivity. And who to know better about productivity than Microsoft?"

One step to the right direction. Multithread program is just as hard as developing driver for a device. Idk. Just pure guess. But not easy for sure.
I guess you missed the word "most". If you consider 4 apps the entirety of Apples Mac universe, then Steves RDF must be even stronger than we first thought.I guess you missed the huge update Final Cut Pro and the other pro video apps just got, plus the other iWork updates from 2017.
The thing that stops me using Outlook is the inability to move the profile to another drive; it has to be on the primary drive (you can't even manually relocate it and use symlinks etc). I can't afford to lose 50GB+ of my 240GB SSD to Outlook.
Or has this changed recently? Can I run my profile from another drive?

I really think Apple should enter the office suite market, they are looking to expand and Microsoft Office is like used by 90% of businesses around the world. They can do that through their subsidiary FileMaker Inc. Customers will gain options, lower prices, better features and save the world from relying on 1 company software to do all their work.
iWork is just not cutting it, its good to use for personal and school material but companies want more. Is Keynote still superior to PowerPoint?

Is anyone having issues with adding comments to excel cells? My feature is there but it is greyed out? Worked fine before the update. May have to revert excel.
Thank you mrzz for the antidote to this irritating neat new feature that MS thought we'd all want. And then hiding the fix in some backwater of the preferences, with a deceptive label that I'd have searched for for weeks before finding on my own, if ever.
No, it won't. The current Office 2016 still has the same differences between the subscription and the stand-alone versions it had before.
The upcoming Office 2019 will bring some features that were subscription-only to the stand-alone version (actually bring some features back to the stand-alone version, like the focus mode in Word, that was available in the stand-alone version of Word 2011, but not in Word 2016). But there still will be features that are subscription-only:

I actually find Excel is significantly faster than before. I can't vouch for its stability yet, though, as I hadn't had the opportunity to test the new version for prolonged time.
Powerpoint is still slow as f***, though.
