Microsoft said on Thursday (22 ) that will release the next version of its package Office ( Word Excel PowerPoint etc.) in the second half of this year.
“We will have more to disclose about the Office 2016 [as will be called the software package] in the coming months, but this suite will continue to offer comprehensive experience with which you are familiar, best enjoyed on a PC with keyboard and mouse, “said the site” The Verge “ Julia White , general manager of Office in the American company
The news about this future release is scarce – and little “revolucionárias- with information published by rumors about the option of a dark look and the return of a virtual assistant that appeared in previous versions, Clippy .
This Wednesday (21), the company held an event in which we presented the direction the company should take in relation to the Windows and to other areas, including Office (which will be distributed free to purchasers of new equipment with the future Windows 10), the Outlook (which will have a “universal” version for PC, tablet and mobile), the Xbox (more integrated into the PC) and even virtual reality.
In 2011, Microsoft started selling the Office also in the model SaaS (software as a service, its acronym in English), through the call signature Office 365, which, depending on the plan, can give right to any set of software and free updates.
Increasingly the company take actions to bring customers signing the service instead of paying once for the package. In this sense the Office 2016 announcement comes at a dose of surprise, since the company could have bet on “kill” a number of versions.
