"Since March, we've shared some glimpses of what's to come in Office 2016. Today we'd like to give a more holistic view of what customers at home and work can expect in the next release. In Office 2016, we're updating the Office suite for the modern workplace, with smart tools for individuals, teams, and business," wrote Jared Spataro, general manager for the Office marketing team.
