Mac版Office將統一合併進Office部門內、MacBU部門隨之走入歷史？

Mac版Office將統一合併進Office部門內、MacBU部門隨之走入歷史？: 稍早由日本熊本縣主辦的「Apple User Group Meeting」會上，例行由日本市場各Apple協力廠商、Apple業界名人出席簡報，其中向來皆未缺席的Microsoft Japan MacBU（Macintosh Business Unit）部門專案經理Nakao先生，也再次帶來精采的簡報內容。 簡報中提及Mac版Outlook具有特別設計的介面，例如「功能區」的隱藏式選單對於小螢幕的MacBook Air 11吋來說，就提供了更為便捷的大螢幕工作畫面；而Microsoft也將於近期，針對OS X Lion全新功能提供相對應的支援、升級。 此外，會中Nakao先生也表示，由於現行Mac版Office的開發都將由Microsoft Office團隊統籌進行，所以就他本人的角色來說，未來將不再擔任MacBU專案經理的職位，這也意味著成立於1997年的MacBU部門將走入歷史？ 延伸閱讀： - 微軟MacBU實力巨作：史上最強、最輕量化的Office for Mac 2011 (上) - 微軟MacBU實力巨作：史上最強、最輕量化的Office for Mac 2011 (下)
