Microsoft Corp
said it began the worldwide roll-out of Office 2016, the latest addition to its
cloud-based subscription service Office 365, on Tuesday.
Microsoft said
Office 2016 brings new versions of desktop apps for Windows including Word,
PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook and Access and allows people to collaborate and work
together.
"These latest innovations take
another big step forward in transforming Office from a familiar set of
individual productivity apps to a connected set of apps and services designed
for modern working, collaboration and teamwork," Chief Executive Satya
Nadella said in a statement.
Microsoft launched its much-awaited
Windows 10 operating system in July, designed to work across laptops, desktop
and smartphones, as part of Nadella's push towards winning back lost ground in
the tablets and mobile arena.
The new Office 2016 apps are available in
40 languages and require Windows 7 or later versions. Starting Tuesday, Office
365 subscribers can choose to download the new Office 2016 apps as part of
their subscription, Microsoft said.
