Microsoft Office 2016 Microsoft Office announced on Thursday that it will be releasing its next big Office suite this year.
It's called Office 2016, and the announcement comes on the

"We will have more to share on Office 2016 in the
coming months, but this suite will remain the comprehensive Office experience
you’re long familiar with, best suited for a PC with keyboard and mouse,"
wrote Julia White, general manager for Microsoft Office's Office Product
Management team, in a blog post.
According to White, the platform will include
"compelling new experiences" that will be highlighted more in the

isn't too far off from what we're used to, though.
Office 2016 is different from the unified Office for Windows

10 app suite is designed to work across different platforms, so it's optimized
for both desktop computers and smaller screens (those under 8 inches).
The Office apps are automatically included on Windows 10
