Microsoft Office 2016 is a suite of office software for home and work use released by Microsoft as the direct successor to the MS Office 2013 suite of applications. The revision was codenamed Office 16 - the package saw the light of day in the fall of 2015. It is important to note that users on macOS operating systems received the finished product two months earlier than Windows system owners - as early as July 2015.
The development of the kit itself began back in 2014, immediately after the release of the standard Microsoft Service Pack patch (intended for MS Office 2013). In May 2015, users were able to download the "early access" version, which was distributed by the company both through the Microsoft site itself and through the accounts of users of the Office 365 online system. An interesting fact is that Office 365 subscribers and owners of the previous version of the Office suite got a free upgrade to the next, edition number 16. Also, Microsoft Office 2016 was the latest bundle to support running on Windows 7 as well as Windows 8.1 operating systems. The next version, Office 19, works only with the Windows 10 operating system.
Microsoft has refused to experiment with editions (as was the case with Office 2013). The set was published in five editions - they differ in the set of features provided, the target audience and, accordingly, the cost. The editions are divided into versions for corporate and home use. The basic "For Home and Study" set comes with four basic programs - Word (a multifunctional text editor), PowerPoint (a tool for creating slide shows and presentations), OneNote (a diary program) and Excel (a spreadsheet tool).
Thus, Microsoft Office 2016 is a complete toolkit for working with different file formats: the package allows you to create texts, presentations, tables, diaries, as well as use interactive calendar and business email. Microsoft Office 2016 is unparalleled in its kind: so far, no other set of office applications has been able to accommodate such extensive functionality.
