Key Takeaways

  • Office 2024 for Mac is the first version to natively support Copilot AI, Python in Excel, Apple Silicon optimization, and deep Teams integration.

  • Office 2021 remains strong for business use but lacks AI and advanced collaboration.

  • Office 2019 is stable but aging — missing cloud and modern formula features.

  • Office 2016 is now obsolete — no modern features, no support, and poor compatibility with Apple Silicon.
