Mar 12, 2020 Microsoft Office is the most popular suite of productivity applications in the world, and it runs on Mac computers just as well as it does on Windows machines. The question on many Mac users’ lips seems to be, “Should I pay for Microsoft Office for Mac or use one of its many free alternatives?”. Jul 11, 2014 Install Microsoft Office Online Apps in Ubuntu. To make accessing these online versions easier from the Ubuntu desktop, the ‘Linux Web Apps project’ has created a small, unofficial installer that adds web app shortcuts (“glorified bookmarks”) to your application launcher.
Azure Pipelines
If your pipelines are in Azure Pipelines, then you've got a convenient option to run your jobs using a Microsoft-hosted agent. With Microsoft-hosted agents, maintenance and upgrades are taken care of for you. Each time you run a pipeline, you get a fresh virtual machine. The virtual machine is discarded after one use. Microsoft-hosted agents can run jobs directly on the VM or in a container.
For many teams this is the simplest way to run your jobs. You can try it first and see if it works for your build or deployment. If not, you can use a self-hosted agent.
Tip
You can try a Microsoft-hosted agent for no charge. If your job fails, the issues will be reported in the logs.
Azure Pipelines provides a Microsoft-hosted agent pool named Azure Pipelines that offers several virtual machine images to choose from, each including a broad range of tools and software.

Microsoft mouse not working on mac. Mar 06, 2020 Some older Microsoft devices are no longer supported in the latest Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center. However, they're still supported by an older version of Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center 2.3 on Windows 7, or the earlier version IntelliPoint 8.2 and IntelliType Pro 8.2 software on Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP. May 10, 2016 Hi, I have a Mac Book Pro running Bootcamp with Windows 10 Pro. I want to be able to use my Mac Magic Mouse2 when I boot to Windows. The Mac work fine and so does the mouse when I book to Mac OS, but the mouse does not work when I boot to Windows OS. With the Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500, your transceiver stays in your mobile PC when you go and the mouse works on more surfaces with Microsoft BlueTrack Technology!

For more information and instructions on how to update your pipelines that use those images, see Removing older images in Azure Pipelines hosted pools.
Note
The Azure Pipelines hosted pool replaces the previous hosted pools that had names that mapped to the corresponding images. Any jobs you had in the previous hosted pools are automatically redirected to the correct image in the new Azure Pipelines hosted pool. In some circumstances, you may still see the old pool names, but behind the scenes the hosted jobs are run using the Azure Pipelines pool. For more information about this update, see the Single hosted pool release notes from the July 1 2019 - Sprint 154 release notes.
You can see the installed software for each hosted agent by choosing the Included Software link in the table.
Pipelines will default to the Microsoft-hosted agent pool. You simply need to specify which virtual machine image you want to use.
This option affects where your data is stored. Learn more.
You can manually select from tool versions on macOS images. See below.
Microsoft-hosted agents:
Microsoft-hosted agents do not offer:
If Microsoft-hosted agents don't meet your needs, then you can deploy your own self-hosted agents.
When you use a Microsoft-hosted agent, always use variablesto refer to the build environment and agent resources. For example, don'thard-code the drive letter or folder that contains the repository. The preciselayout of the hosted agents is subject to change without warning.
In some setups, you may need to know the range of IP addresses where agents are deployed. For instance, if you need to grant the hosted agents access through a firewall, you may wish to restrict that access by IP address. Because Azure DevOps uses the Azure global network, IP ranges vary over time. We publish a weekly JSON file listing IP ranges for Azure datacenters, broken out by region. This file is published every Wednesday (US Pacific time) with new planned IP ranges. The new IP ranges become effective the following Monday. We recommend that you check back frequently to ensure you keep an up-to-date list. If agent jobs begin to fail, a key first troubleshooting step is to make sure your configuration matches the latest list of IP addresses.
Your hosted agents run in the same Azure geography as your organization. Each geography contains one or more regions, and while your agent may run in the same region as your organization, it is not guaranteed to do so. To obtain the complete list of possible IP ranges for your agent, you must use the IP ranges from all of the regions that are contained in your geography. For example, if your organization is located in the United States geography, you must use the IP ranges for all of the regions in that geography.
To determine your geography, navigate to https://dev.azure.com/<your_organization>/_settings/organizationOverview, get your region, and find the associated geography from the Azure geography table. Once you have identified your geography, use the IP ranges from the weekly file for all regions in that geography.
Note
Due to capacity restrictions, some organizations in the Brazil South or West Europe regions may occasionally see their hosted agents located outside their expected geography. In these cases, in addition to including the IP ranges as described in the previous section, additional IP ranges must be included for the regions in the capacity fallback geography.
Microsoft office for mac free. It turns out that deleting the Office apps is not always enough. Only when I deleted the entire Microsoft Office 2008 folder (renaming doesn't work, you haveto delete it) would it allow me to reinstall.2. The installer complained that I had a newer version installed, even after I deleted the apps.
If your organization is in the Brazil South region, your capacity fallback geography is United States.
If your organization is in the West Europe region, the capacity fallback geography is France.
Our Mac IP ranges are not included in the Azure IPs above, though we are investigating options to publish these in the future.
Currently, Service Tags is not something you can use for your hosted agents. If you're trying to grant hosted agents access to your resources, you'll need to follow the IP range allow listing method.
You can see the installed software for each hosted agent by choosing the Included Software link in the Use a Microsoft-hosted agent table.
More information about the versions of software included on the images can be found at Guidelines for what's installed.
Images are typically updated weekly. You can check the status badges which are in the format 20200113.x where the first part indicates the date the image was updated.
You can let us know by filing a GitHub issue by choosing the Included Software links in the Use a Microsoft-hosted agent table.
You can also use a self-hosted agent that includes the exact versions of software that you need. For more information, see Self-hosted agents.
We can't increase the memory, processing power, or disk space for Microsoft-hosted agents, but you can use a self-hosted agent that is hosted on a machine that has your desired specifications.
By default, all project contributors in an organization have access to the Microsoft-hosted agents. But, your organization administrator may limit the access of Microsoft-hosted agents to select users or projects. Ask the owner of your Azure DevOps organization to grant you permission to use a Microsoft-hosted agent. See agent pool security.
All Azure DevOps organizations are provided with several free parallel jobs for open source projects, and one free parallel job and limited minutes each month for private projects. If you need more minutes, or need to run additional builds or releases in parallel, then you can buy more parallel jobs for private projects.
The Microsoft-hosted XAML build controller is no longer supported. If you have an organization in which you still need to run XAML builds, you should set up a self-hosted build server and a self-hosted build controller.
Tip
We strongly recommend that you migrate your XAML builds to new builds.
To manually select a Xamarin SDK version to use on the Hosted macOS agent, before your Xamarin build task, execute this command line as part of your build, replacing the Mono version number 5.4.1 as needed (also replacing '.' characters with underscores: '_'). Choose the Mono version that is associated with the Xamarin SDK version that you need.
/bin/bash -c 'sudo $AGENT_HOMEDIRECTORY/scripts/select-xamarin-sdk.sh 5_4_1'
Mono versions associated with Xamarin SDK versions on the Hosted macOS agent can be found here.
Note that this command does not select the Mono version beyond the Xamarin SDK. To manually select a Mono version, see instructions below.
In case you are using a non-default version of Xcode for building your Xamarin.iOS or Xamarin.Mac apps, you should additionally execute this command line:
/bin/bash -c 'echo '##vso[task.setvariable variable=MD_APPLE_SDK_ROOT;]'$(xcodeRoot);sudo xcode-select --switch $(xcodeRoot)/Contents/Developer'
where $(xcodeRoot) = /Applications/Xcode_10.1.app
Xcode versions on the Hosted macOS agent pool can be found here.
If you use the Xcode task included with Azure Pipelines and TFS, you can select a version of Xcode in that task's properties. Otherwise, to manually set the Xcode version to use on the Hosted macOS agent pool, before your xcodebuild build task, execute this command line as part of your build, replacing the Xcode version number 8.3.3 as needed:
/bin/bash -c 'sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode_8.3.3.app/Contents/Developer'
Xcode versions on the Hosted macOS agent pool can be found here.
Note that this command does not work for Xamarin apps. To manually select a Xcode version for building Xamarin apps, see instructions above.
To manually select a Mono version to use on the Hosted macOS agent pool, before your Mono build task, execute this script in each job of your build, replacing the Mono version number 5.4.1 as needed:
.NET Core 2.2.105 is default on VM images but Mono version 6.0 or greater requires .NET Core 2.2.300+.If you use the Mono 6.0 or greater, you will have to override .NET Core version using .NET Core Tool Installer task.
The VM images contain prebuilt Boost libraries with their headers in the directory designated by BOOST_ROOT environment variable. In order to include the Boost headers, the path $BOOST_ROOT/include should be added to the search paths.
Example of g++ invocation with Boost libraries:
