We know that Office 2016 is expected to arrive later this year and today Microsoft has released universal Office for Windows 10 preview apps which include Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
These apps can be installed on PCs, laptops and tablets running the Windows 10 Technical Preview. Microsoft promises that it will bring these apps over to smartphones and tablets running Windows 10 in the coming weeks.
Microsoft has designed all of these apps from the ground up to run on Windows 10. They’re built for touch enabled devices as well so they can work across a variety of different devices while providing the same experience that users know and love.
