Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) intends to roll out its Office 2016 suite in September.
“This is the central hub for all Office 2016 Commercial readiness, training and marketing materials”, it continued. According to The Verge, the new “colorful” theme included on that Mac release as well as the newest iOS and Android iterations will be included on the flagship version. Image insertion capability on Word 2016 and Excel 2016 have also been updated. Word 2016 will also bring real-time co-authoring, which allows multiple people to view and edit a document simultaneously.

The leaked documents-which may or may not be up-to-date, I don’t have any first-hand knowledge of the release plans-come courtesy of WinFuture, which notes that the release of Office 2016 for Windows is “imminent”. Hence, a September 22nd release is probable.
