Yes, this is true.

To show the path to this information, do this:

1) Go to the Mactopia website, which is part of microsoft.com:
<http://www.microsoft.com/mac/default.mspx>.

2) Click the Learn More button:
<http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/Office2008/office-2011-upgrade.mspx>
.

3) Click the Request My Upgrade button:
<https://www.techg.arvatousa.com/OfficeMacTechG/>.

This will take you to Microsoft's vendor handling the Technology Guarantee.

4) In the upper right corner, click the FAQ link:
<https://www.techg.arvatousa.com/OfficeMacTechG/FAQ.aspx>.

5) Expand the link "Which products are included in the Technology
Guarantee qualifying Office for Mac 2011 suites?"

You will see the following information:

Two Office for Mac 2011 suites will be available.
Microsoft Office for Mac Home and Student 2011
Includes 

* Microsoft Word for Mac 2011
* Microsoft Excel for Mac 2011
* Microsoft PowerPoint for Mac 2011
* Microsoft Messenger for Mac 8


Microsoft Office for Mac Home and Business 2011
Includes 

* Microsoft Word for Mac 2011
* Microsoft Excel for Mac 2011
* Microsoft PowerPoint for Mac 2011
* Microsoft Messenger for Mac 8
* Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011

I've searched everywhere else I could to find this information and
validate it and this is the closest I could get, which in my opinion is
very, very buried and will certainly aggravate a lot of customers who are
expecting Outlook as a replacement for Entourage.


I'm submitting this to one of my Microsoft contacts that they need to be
much more forthcoming about this.
