Office 2016 for Windows coming on September 22

A leaked image from a Microsoft intranet site has disclosed that Office 2016 for Windows will be released on September 22.

Office 2016 for Mac is already available to Office 365 subscribers. When that was launched in July, Microsoft said that regular retail copies would be released in September. While we're not certain, it seems likely that September 22 will be the release date for that, too.

Office 2016 is an incremental update. It makes styling between Windows, OS X, and the mobile apps a little more consistent—by default each app gets a boldly colored title bar that reflects the icon color, just like the mobile apps—and includes improved collaborative editing, rights management, and data analysis capabilities.
