[OSX-Users] Re: Office 2016 - avoid on El Capitan (or don't upgrade)

[Chris Andrews]

I don't use MS Office much (only Outlook - and under duress) so haven't
really observed this first-hand, but I did see a statement from MS recently
about it that said "we continue to work with Apple on a fix" - implying
that there's something wrong in OS X as much as in Office. Might need
10.11.1 to really get it back off the ground again.
