Office 2016’s new versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint are redesigned with Retina-optimized interfaces, and new features with a heavy emphasis on collaboration and cloud integration. The suite works with Office 365, and OneDrive, Microsoft’s cloud storage service. Office 2016 is Microsoft’s next step in its plan to make Office products available on any device, anywhere, anytime. The new apps offer full retina display support with thousands of retina-optimized graphics, full screen view for native immersive experiences, and even little Mac affordances like scroll bounce. Office 2016 for Mac shares an unmistakably Office experience–but it is also thoughtfully designed to take advantage of the unique features of the Mac. The new suite is available for download by all Mac users running OS X Yosemite, and will be free to use during the preview period. The release is the first major update to Office for Mac suite since Office for Mac 2011. Microsoft announced a preview version of Office 2016 for Mac on Thursday.
