Free Office Software For Windows 10
Microsoft officials showed off the coming touch-first/Windows Store version of Office for Windows during the company's second Windows 10 reveal event on January 21. On January 22, Microsoft posted a blog offering - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook and Calendar - that are in the works. Microsoft is calling this touch-first suite The apps in the Office for Windows 10 suite are 'universal apps,' meaning that most of their code is the same across Windows Phones and small tablets. These apps also, Microsoft officials have said. As Microsoft officials revealed yesterday, the Office for Windows 10 suite will be preinstalled for free on Windows Phones and small (under eight-inch) tablets running Windows 10. They will be available for download from the Windows Store for Windows devices with larger screen sizes.
As of today, we don't have official word if these downloadable touch-first versions will be free or require an Office 365 subscription to unlock the full set of features - as is the case with Office on iPad and Office on Android tablets. I previously heard from my sources that the first public preview of Office for Windows 10 would be available in February 2015. Today's blog post says the Office universal apps will be available with 'the Windows 10 Technical Preview in the coming weeks.' I'm taking this as meaning it will be (for Windows Phones and small Intel- and ARM-based tablets). (A quick note on naming: Microsoft officials have decided to brand all versions of Windows 10 plain-old 'Windows 10.'
But the Windows 10 version that is built for phones and tablets isn't the same as the one for the desktop, so to distinguish them, I will keep calling the phone/tablet SKU 'Windows 10 mobile.' ) Today's post notes that general availability for the Office for Windows 10 suite will be 'later this year.' My sources have said it will be generally available at the same time as Office 2016, which Microsoft officials previously stated.
So far, those features are very minor. Microsoft is privately testing Office 2016 inside the company, as well as outside with Office 365 subscribers who have been accepted into the test program.
