Outlook 2016 for Mac doesn’t provide any client-side junk mail protection for any kind of an account (Exchange, POP, or IMAP). Instead, it only relies on the mail server to perform all junk mail filtering. Email messages are not scanned client-side by Outlook 2016 for Mac to determine whether they are junk mail. Sep 22, 2015 Today is the worldwide release of Office 2016 for Windows. This marks a milestone in delivering new value for Office 365 subscribers with a focus on collaboration, apps that work for you, a perfect pairing with Windows 10, and security features businesses will love. It also marks a new model for delivery. Welcome to the Outlook Blog! Learn best practices, news, and trends and directly from the Outlook team.

The Microsoft Office suites: Office for Windows, Office for Mac, and Office for iPad provide the greatest level of compatibility between any disparate suites, but there can never be complete compatibility between different apps, except for the most trivial of apps. And, like them or hate them, no one can ever call the Office apps “‘trivial”.
Comparing the feature set of these three suites, I think everyone can agree that Office for Windows is on top, Office for iPad is at the bottom, with Office for Mac squarely in the middle. (See a detailed comparison here.)
Win Office > Mac Office > iPad Office
Don’t get me wrong – I have all three suites, and I use and like them all, but that doesn’t mean I am blind to their differences. (And that doesn’t mean I have given Microsoft a boatload of cash — I got all three suites as part of my $100/year Office 365 subscription — a bargain at twice the price, IMHO.)
A Windows user has only one choice: Office for Windows. Similarly, an iPad user can only choose iPad Office. But a Mac user can choose to run Office for Mac natively or Office for Windows in Parallels Desktop in a Windows virtual machine. Which one to choose? Any performance or usability differences? What about feature differences?
2016-8-30 Microsoft Remote Desktop for mac译名为微软远程桌面软件，这是一款Mac OS平台上的远程桌面控制软件来自微软，你可以通过Microsoft Remote Desktop Mac版来控制. 2013-12-13 Microsoft Remote Desktop 是一款Mac OS平台上的远程桌面控制软件来自微软，使用Microsoft远程桌面应用程序，你可以从几乎任何地方连接到远程PC和您的工作资源。此版本摆脱了阻止客户启动的崩溃。从远程桌面8导入. 2018-6-5 远程桌面 - 允许访问你的电脑 Remote Desktop - Allow access to your PC 本文内容 适用于：Windows 10、Windows 8.1、Windows Server 2019、Windows Server 2016、Windows Server 2012 R2 Applies to: Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012 R2. Updates for version 10.2.4. Date published:. Added dark mode support for macOS Mojave 10.14. An option to import from Microsoft Remote Desktop 8 now appears in the Connection Center if it is empty. Addressed folder redirection compatibility with some third-party enterprise applications. Microsoft remote desktop 8 mac. 2019-4-2 Since I upgraded two of my Macs to Mojave 10.14.4 yesterday, RDP client (10.2.9 1575) has been crashing every time I use it, after only a few minutes of connection. I've already reported the issue to Apple and sent the crash reports to MS as well. Anybody else experiencing this issue? Yes, I have the same problem. Same here:( there is a beta.
First, let’s dispel any talk of performance differences. Macs today have an over-abundance of processing power and Parallels Desktop for Mac runs so efficiently that there is no perceptible performance difference between Office for Mac running natively and Office for Windows running in a virtual machine. Perhaps, with a stopwatch and a really quick trigger finger you could measure some sub-second differences, but you would never notice these differences in actual use.
Usability differences between these two suites have gone by the wayside in the 2016 suites, with MacOffice largely adopting the WinOffice user interface (UI), and losing most of its unique Mac UI advantages that made it so distinctive in past years.

So, what about feature differences, since as stated above Win Office > Mac Office. What does a Mac user lose if they pick MacOffice over WinOffice to use on their Mac? There are a bunch, and here is a list, which I have divided into major and minor differences:
Major differences:
- Ink
There have been several truly important additions to Office in the last five or six years — Office Open XML-based document file formats, the Ribbon, and SmartArt, to name a few — and these have appeared in both WinOffice and MacOffice. The latest important addition to Office, however, is only in WinOffice, and that is Ink. Ink is the ability to annotate or add content to an Office document with a stylus or finger on a touch screen in an extraordinarily natural way. There is no stylus or touch screen on the Mac, so naturally Microsoft has not brought Ink to MacOffice.
But, if there is no stylus or touch screen on the Mac, how does WinOffice in a virtual machine provide any differences? Parallels Desktop 12 for Mac, when running WinOffice 2016 in a Windows 10 virtual machine does give the user the capability to use Ink on the Mac.
See this blog post (and others in the near future) for all the details and lots more examples.
- A slew of features in Outlook
There are more feature differences between WinOutlook and MacOutlook than there are between any other pairs of apps in the two suites. Some of these differences are support for older Exchange versions, voting buttons, Visual Basic support, conversation clean up, and many, many more, but see this blog post for a much longer, but non-exhaustive list.
Minor differences:
- Pivot charts + other features in Excel
Despite an immense amount of excellent work by the MacExcel team in recent years, there are still some WinExcel features that are not supported in MacExcel. Opening a spreadsheet containing one of these missing features results in the dialog you see in figure 3.
- PowerPoint add-ins
Among my many character flaws, I am a font addict. (My t-shirt that states “Who ever dies with the most fonts wins.” kind of gives this away.) Often, just the right font will convey exactly the feeling I want in a presentation. But, if I show this presentation on another computer, or email it to someone, that font will not show up. So, a PowerPoint add-in like Convert Text to Outlinesis a godsend, enabling me to make sure that font will always show correctly, and Convert Text to Outlines, like almost all other add-ins, is only available in WinPowerPoint. However, once converted to outlines in WinPowerPoint, the slide will render correctly in WinPowerPoint or MacPowerPoint on any computer, even if that special font is not available there.

To be fair, in choosing WinOffice over MacOffice for use on the Mac, you do lose the fantastic Reorder Objects feature in PowerPoint, and that is a significant loss. It used to be the case that choosing Word in MacOffice gave you Publishing Layout View, but, alas, Microsoft removed this powerful, groundbreaking feature from Word in MacOffice 2016. A real pity.
So, for me, WinOffice is the clear best Office to use on my Mac. What’s your clear best choice? Leave your answer in the comments.

Employees love the freedom of choice. That starts with flexible working hours and goes to choosing your own work tools. And this freedom of choice also includes being able to choose between Windows and Mac®. In a recent survey of employees, 94% of Mac users agreed that being able to choose their office computer was a big plus for an employer. As much as 79% stated that they would be less productive without their Mac—which is to say, with a different operating system (OS).
However, ifusers are allowed to choose their OS, this presents challenges for the organization’sIT department. They are forced to support and maintain multiple types ofsystems. Users, in contrast, are only interested in getting their work done as quicklyand efficiently as possible. Part of the IT team’s job is to enable them to do this.
MicrosoftOffice for Mac: as complete as it is for Windows
Not every software product is available for every operating system—or at least, not with all the same features. Recently, Cancom pictured a prominent example of this. Arguably, Microsoft Office is the world’s most important office application software. One of every two organizations uses the cloud subscription version, Office 365. But the Mac and Windows versions are not identical. For example, the macOS® version lacks both the database software Access and Microsoft Publisher. And there is a long list of other, comparable examples. As a rule, tools for industry-sector specific purposes are only available for Windows.
But there is a solution to this problem: Parallels Desktop® for Mac Business Edition. This brings the best of both worlds to both IT departments and end-users. It allows employees to choose their operating system, providing a high level of employee satisfaction and productivity—and complete software compatibility all at the same time.
Parallels Desktop Business Edition helps execute mission-critical applications without restrictions. Mac users have full access to programs such as Microsoft Office for Windows, Visual Studio, Quicken, and QuickBooks for Windows, Internet Explorer, SAP products and other ERP solutions, Autodesk products and much more—without needing to leave the familiar macOS environment.
