"Microsoft's Macintosh Business Unit (http://www.microsoft.com/mac) will ship Office for Mac 2011 in late October. Reportedly, the prices will undercut the current version of the office application suite by 20% to 50%."

We reported on the videos they were releasing, outlining the new features of Microsoft Office for Mac 2011, and now we have some prices and a release date.
