Review of Newly Rolled out MS Office 2016

Good news for all of you hardcore Windows fans in Pakistan and all around the world, who love nothing better than interacting with modern productivity software; Microsoft Office 2016 is finally out of preview. It represents the official worldwide release of Office 2016 for Windows, which comes with a renewed focus on collaboration, as well as enhanced security features aimed at business consumers that are intended to act in perfect harmony with the company’s recently released operating system, Windows 10.

From an aesthetic perspective, Office 2016 isn’t hugely removed from the previous Office release that has been with us since 2013. With that said, there wasn’t anything particular wrong with the way the individual Office apps looked, so there was no real need to invest time or resources in hugely revamping the visuals. The functionality within has however had a lot of attention paid to it, and brings a huge emphasis on sharing and collaboration that has never been seen before in Microsoft’s Office suite of apps.

It’s immediately evident that Microsoft has taken a long hard look at what the competition is doing and attempted to propel Office 2016 up there with the best productivity apps and services out there. The introduction of the real-time co-authoring feature within the desktop apps is a great addition, and although it was already available in the web version of Office, it makes Office 2016 a lot more appealing to those looking to collaborate on documents together.

There’s also the ability to attach OneDrive files directly to Outlook emails. In short, Microsoft is attempting to ensure that business customers never need to really leave the app they are using by “taking the work out of working together”.
