Office Home and Business will also bring the unlock for the same apps mentioned above, however, with the addition of Outlook and grants the rights to use these apps for commercial purposes and it costs $250.
But this year many things will be different as the company is expected to bring some extra tools from the Microsoft 365 subscription service to its Office. These tools include services such as collaboration features like co-authoring and the ability to send out automatic updates when files are edited.
Many of the apps are getting a new look as well and we have seen the new UI of some apps leaked in quite some rumors. The suite will be getting rounded window corners and a neutral color palette.
Programs such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Access, Project, Publisher and Visio, will be receiving a digital facelift. And not to worry as Microsoft has plans of releasing the update to Windows 10 users as well.
Microsoft 365 and the Office bundles will feature Teams, the company’s video-chat app. Windows 11 already includes Teams, but this move brings the app to Windows 10 and macOS as well.
