Microsoft is putting the finishing touches on the new Office 2016 (or whatever name the company will use on the finished product) and is giving it a test run. If you are participating in the Windows 10 Technical Preview, you can go straight to your store and download Office for Windows 10 Preview. You can also get there from the links in the article, couldn't be easier. Office 2016 will be available to the general public in conjunction with the release of Windows 10 sometime in late Q315 or early Q415.

There will be a traditional, full featured desktop client, including the entire suite of Office applications, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Access, and Publisher. But up until now, there has not been a publicly available version of Office for touch based Windows computers.
 
What i don't understand is... why is it only limited to W10... FFS!?!?
 
Trust MS to always fuck you in the ass. I'm sure they have meetings just to nut out the finer ways of being able to piss customers off.
 
Interface looks just as bad as the 2013 version.

MS has really lost it's grip on user interface design.
 
And OneNote which was bundled with the original 9926 release.

Only you would care about that...

Anyhow, it's pretty obvious to anyone using it that it doesn't significantly add to the Office experience. Then again, there really haven't been a lot of useful features added since Office 97. Pretty much everything since then has been obscure functionality or the ability to integrate more deeply with cloud stuff that no one really wanted in order to make online storage and processing to seem new-fangled and amazing now that marketing departments call it the Cloud.
