The description you quote is for Office 365 (the 5-computer license) which is describing all of the OS's that license will install on. When you use your 365 license to install on a Mac, it actually installs the Office For Mac 2011 native program which is based on Office 2010 (for PC). There is no 2013 version for Mac. Feb 02, 2013 M/S is not planning to release Office 2013 for the Mac. If you work for a company that has a M/S relationship you might be able to get a heavily discounted (Home Use version) Office for the Mac thru your IT department. Or if you are in school, you should be. Choose Office for your Mac and PC. Create your best work with Office 365, and get 1 TB of OneDrive cloud storage for your photos and files. The Office experience you know and love, built for your Mac, PC, iOS and Android devices.
