Microsoft is still on track to ship the new version of Office 2016 by this fall, company executives said at its Ignite conference in Chicago, as they try to convince an audience of IT professionals to adopt the Microsoft vision.
The Office 2016 preview track will be much like the Windows 10 Insider program. Users can download the new Office 2016 software and will receive new preview updates as Microsoft rolls them out. Microsoft previously launched a developer preview of Office 2016 for IT departments, but this is a more full-featured release. You don’t need an existing Office 365 subscription or have Office already installed on your PC, either.”
Apple reportedly delayed launching a Live TV Service until 2016
According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple will delay its rumored live TV-over-internet streaming service for the Apple TV until 2016. Debates about the content have allegedly postponed the launch of the service, which Apple hoped to be ready before their September 9 event:
"The company wanted to introduce this year a live TV service delivered via the Internet, but is now aiming for 2016, said people familiar with Apple’s plans."
Seemingly, the pricing of the Apple TV is the main obstacle faced in the negotiations. Our source reports that Apple wants to provide "a package of popular channels" for $40 per month, that's a notable discount from the average cable bill.
Meanwhile, a new Apple TV set-top box is said to be ready for launch. The upcoming Apple TV is supposedly said to have a remote with touch and stocked app store. We are expecting Apple to announce the upcoming Apple TV at their event scheduled on September 9th.
