The new Outlook will support PST imports (allowing you to move an Outlook installation, including all your old e-mails, from a Windows PC to a Mac). The other big news in Office 2011 is the demise of Entourage and the return of Outlook. We even spied a non-modal search box on the right side of the toolbar, right where you'd expect it to be, allowing you to quickly search through documents without having your content blocked by a floating box. (As a result, Ribbon tabs will slide smoothly when you rearrange them.) If you click on some Ribbon tools, they will expand smoothly into popovers that don't obscure the document you're working on. For example, the Ribbon is built entirely using Apple's Cocoa development framework, and takes takes advantage of Apple's Core Animation system. The new suite will also feel more Mac-like than Office 2008. Unlike the Elements Gallery, the ribbon is customizable and, if you want more screen space, completely collapsible. This new Ribbon is designed to give users quick access to each program's most commonly used tools.
(If you want a preview, check out Office for Windows the ribbon is already in there, although the Microsoft Mac team members we spoke to said they had learned a lot from the criticism the Ribbon took when launched on Windows.) The Mac version of the Ribbon doesn't replace any menu bars, but it does replace Office 2008's controversial Elements Gallery, which took some fire from Mac users for its size and inflexibility.
Most notably, there's a new Ribbon at the top of each document window.
