Look on the bright side: You can still sync Gmail to Outlook 2013 using IMAP. Without it, you can’t natively sync your Google Calendar or Contacts to the Outlook 2013 mail client, as Outlook 2013 doesn’t support the CalDAV and CardDAV protocols that free Google users must now rely upon. Sync is Google’s implementation of Microsoft’s Exchange ActiveSync protocol. While Office 365 supports installations of Office 2011 on OS X, it does not support Office on Demand for OS X.īack-and-forth sniping from Microsoft and Google isn’t anything new- Scroogled, anyone?-but the spat turned especially nasty for Office 2013 adoptees a couple of months back when Google announced that it was dropping Sync support for personal users. (Is there a law that says all library computers have to run Windows XP?) Nor will you be using it on a Mac. You won’t be using Office on Demand at the library, in other words. It also requires the PC to have a fairly modern browser: Internet Explorer 9 or later, Mozilla Firefox 12 or later, Apple Safari 5 or later, or Google Chrome 18 or later. As with local installations of Office 2013, Office on Demand plays nice only with PCs running Windows 7 or 8. One of the big draws of an Office 365 subscription is Office on Demand, a full-fledged, Internet-streamed version of the productivity suite that Microsoft calls “Your Office away from home.” And it really, truly is- if the host computer meets the suite’s fairly stringent requirements.
Office Web Apps offer basic functionality, but nowhere near as much utility as Office on Demand.
Other computers may not run Office on Demand.
