Today we are taking a big step forward for Mac® users—Office 2016 for Mac is now available in 139 countries and 16 languages. Based on <a title="feedback from the great Mac" href="http://www.cbronline.com/news/enterprise-it/software/office-2016-september-release-set-for-cloud-mobile-focus-4669980">feedback from the great Mac Office community, we’ve made major updates to each of the apps, and we couldn’t be more pleased to deliver it first to our Office 365 customers.
