As many of you may have seen by now, Microsoft recently released their next new version of their Office application suite, Office 2016. This is the first new version of Office that we are seeing signs of Microsoft’s new cloud first strategy; this version of Office released to Office 365 almost a week before you could buy the retail/volume license version, and they made it the default version of Office that gets installed from Office 365. In fact, it’s a little difficult to install the old Office 2013 version from Office 365.
Microsoft SaaS (Software-as-a-Service)
Right now, we aren’t recommending that everyone go out and immediately switch to Office 2016. As we advised with Windows 10, we want to make sure the software is stable before everyone adopts it.
