Microsoft Office 2016 prices in Namibia

Microsoft Office 2016 has been out for a little while now in Namibia. In the month since Microsoft did the full-press release for all supported operating systems, we’ve had the opportunity to sit down with this latest edition to the Office family. There is quite a bit to get excited about.

Office 2016 Product Information
In terms of new Office features, one of the first things you’re going to notice is how colorful everything has seemingly become. This has been the design direction Microsoft has been moving towards for the past few years, so it makes sense that the latest Office would reflect this mindset.

When it comes to Office 2016 features, collaboration/partnership is definitely the name of the game.

The emphasis on easy collaborating and business intelligence is obvious right from the get-go. One of the first things you’re going to notice with this latest version is the fact that Microsoft is continuing to develop products that offer a variety of cloud possibilities. Yet at the same time, the newest Office release is very decidedly grounded in remaining something that is best used with a Mac or Windows OS, coupled with the traditional keyboard/mouse combo.

Windows users will want to note that this latest Office release offers the opportunity to create/open/edit/save your file in your cloud, right from your desktop. The ability to co-author projects in real-time through Office Online is also something that is worth getting excited about. The “Tell Me” feature, which is a new search function for commands that can be found in Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, and Excel.

You can also utilize Bing to get information straight from the internet. The Mac version of Office 2016 is also worth getting excited about, as it comes packed with a huge assortment of features that are going to be totally unique for Mac users. It would seem as though Microsoft is finally giving Mac fans the Office product they’ve always wanted.

In terms of cloud vs. standalone, it’s worth noting that purchasing the standalone will give you the ability to take advantage of the cloud component. Standalone versions can be purchased for N$ 1645 (Home and Student), N$ 3785 (Home and Business), or N$ 6035 (Professional). Keep in mind features you require.

Microsoft Office 2016 Standalone/Offline Editions	Price	Installation	Applications Included
Office Home and Student	N$ 1645	1 PC or Mac	Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote
Office Home and Business	N$ 3785	1 PC or Mac	Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook

What To Expect From Microsoft Office 2016

There is no question that in terms of updates, improvements, and new features, the latest incarnation of Microsoft Office 2016 is going to swing for the fences. Is Office 2016 going to be available for Mac? What are the new Microsoft Office 2016 features going to be? How smooth will the software move between your PC and your mobile device?

All of these are excellent questions to ask. Thankfully, we already know the answers to most of those questions.

Microsoft Office 2016 Features

One of the main things you’re going to need to keep in mind with Office 2016 is that even in terms of the way it has been designed, things are going to be very, very different. For the first time ever, Microsoft is making it clear that the latest incarnation of Office is being designed with a cloud-first/mobile-first mentality. In fact, it would seem that in terms of Microsoft Office 2016 and Office 365, the Office 2016 is going to have a significantly diminished role, when compared to what Microsoft hopes to achieve with 365.

By far, one of the most exciting elements about Office 2016 is the fact that it is going to be made available for the Mac. Those who consider themselves to be Mac users who like the Office experience have been waiting a long time indeed for an update. Microsoft has been leaving Mac users out in the cold since 2011, but that’s going to change very soon. Mac users can expect the latest version of Office to have complete support for Retina Displays, and to enjoy a user interface that Microsoft promises to be dramatically improved from the last time around.

In terms of specific features, we don’t know everything just yet. Microsoft is certainly making some big claims for what we will get from Office 2016, when it comes out towards the end of 2015. If you’re curious about how everything with 2016 Microsoft Office is going to play out on tablets, smartphones, and similar devices, it’s worth mentioning again that this version is being geared around mobile and cloud potential. It is also worth noting that devices that will include the upcoming Windows 10 will come with the latest version of Office.

We still have a few more months to go, before Office 2016 is available to the world at large. It is expected that we will get a lot more information on Microsoft Office 2016 at the May 4^th Microsoft Ignite conference.

And as usual, Microsoft Office 2016 will be available at your trusted Namibia’s fastest shopping experience online shop.
