Office 2016 for Mac includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Outlook. When the preview launched, Eric Wilfrid, general manager of Microsoft’s Macintosh Business Unit, told VentureBeat there are now “no more dark areas” in terms of Retina support, as Microsoft has completely switched over to Apple’s Cocoa APIs.

While Office 2011 for Mac included some Retina support, it was mainly focused on the canvas (where the document is displayed) and the most common parts of the user interface.

The new apps offer full Retina display support with thousands of Retina-optimized graphics. Office 2016 for Mac requires OS X 10.10 Yosemite, and like we said before, this is good news for Apple as those still on older OS X versions will have yet another incentive to upgrade.

Like the preview, Office 2016 for Mac can still be installed alongside Office for Mac 2011. Translation: The company wants to put some time between the two to push its Office 365 subscriptions before it starts selling Office 2016 for Mac separately. We asked Microsoft why that is, but it wouldn’t say. What about if you want to buy Office 2016 outright as a standalone version, like Microsoft Office has always been sold? Office 2016 for Mac will become available as a one-time purchase option in September, though Microsoft isn’t yet ready to share pricing or an exact launch date. Just head to /student to check if you’re eligible.

Like other Microsoft Office products, Office 2016 for Mac is available at a substantial discount or even for free if you’re a student. There is one way to reduce the cost: Go get an education. If you’re paying for Office 365 Personal ($60 per year), Office 365 Home ($80 per year), or Office 365 ProPlus ($12 per user per month for one year) you can now go to /myaccount, sign in, and follow the installation instructions. Office 2016 for Mac is now available in 139 countries and 16 languages, but you’ll need to be an Office 365 subscriber to get it.
