Office for Mac 2016 Preview

[DrJohnZoidberg]

Wow - what Mac are you running? Granted, in our office we run retina pros with SSD/16GB RAM and Office just flies. I heard from a power-user though that VLOOKUP and other functions are dodgy. Thankfully I don't go beyond sorting and pivots.

It's a 2014 MBPr i5 with 8GB memory.

I just cannot fathom why an application that's only job is to download an update and install it requires the use of 55GB of virtual memory.

I constantly have issues with Lync for Mac also locking up randomly and eating 100% CPU, to a point where I now try to keep it closed more often than not.

And the fact that Excel for Mac can still only utilise 1 (ONE!!!) CPU core for it's calculations.

I can understand this kind of stuff with a small company, but MS is one of the biggest software companies in the world (if not the biggest), I would expect them to get these things right. I honestly have very little to no issues with any other apps that I use.

And the fact that I get this error every time I exit Outlook 2007 (which freezes the system for about 10 seconds too):

Lol, mine only updated now.

I checked a minute ago and still no update...
