Microsoft Office 2016 public preview

Microsoft has announced the public preview of its latest version of Office. Public preview means exactly that, anyone can go ahead and load it up on their Windows PC and play around with it for a while.

For more details on the Office 2016 Preview program and instructions on how to download the applications, please visit the Office 2016 Preview program website.

NOTE: What happens when the trial ends?

Microsoft describes a scenario for Office 365 subscribers as well as those without that subscription:

For Office 365 subscribers:

"This will install the Office 2016 Preview on your device. You will stay on the Office 2016 Preview track until you uninstall the Office 2016 Preview or until Office 2016 is released. "

For non-Office 365 subscribers:

"Once the trial period expires, you will have the option to purchase an Office 365 subscription or reinstall your current version using your original product key. "

It's also important to note that installing the Office 2016 preview will overwrite any current Office installs on your machine. You cannot run Office 2016 preview side by side with your current version.

Office 2016 Preview supports PCs or Windows tablets running Windows 7 or higher.
