Office 2016 for Mac is Now Aligned with Windows, Android, and iOS
Microsoft today announced a major new release of Office 2016 for Mac that aligns this product with the versions on Windows, Android, and iOS.
“Mac Office 2016 version 16 is now live! For the first time in over 20 years, Office is again built out of one codebase for all platforms (Windows, Mac, iOS, Android)!” Microsoft principle software engineer Erik Schwiebert tweeted today. “Massive code alignment under the hood, bringing new user features such as real-time collaboration in Word and PPT, more formulas and multithreaded recalc in Excel, etc!”
So, I’m a bit confused by what he means by “one codebase,” since there is no way these products are built in their entity using the same code. And I also know that Microsoft trying to base Mac Office on Windows Office was a major boondoggle in the late 1990’s/2000’s, so it’s interesting that things have evolved to the point where this is both viable and desirable today.
(When I asked Schwiebert about this on Twitter, he recommended watching this video, which I’m doing now. But he noted that “the shared code is all C++. Each platform has native code interfacing with the OS [ie, Objective C for Mac and iOS, Java for Android, C/C++ for Windows, etc].” –Paul)
I’ve reached out to Microsoft for an explanation. In the meantime, it’s very clear that Mac Office 2016 version 16 is a major upgrade, and it does obviously add a lot of features that users of Office on other platforms have been enjoying.
Here’s what’s new, according to Microsoft.

Twitter Brings its PWA to Windows 10 and the Microsoft Store

NOTE:  If you want to use the permanently activation of office 2016,welcome to the below Microsoft Partner to get get genuine key:  http://www.keygenuine.com / While Windows 10 version 1803 will bring many nice changes, support for PWAs—Progressive Web Apps—is one of the most eagerly-anticipated. The issue, so far, is that we’ve not seen any PWAs to speak of in the Microsoft Store. But that’s changing. Concurrent with yesterday’s release of a near-final build of this next version of Windows, we finally have a great high-quality PWA in the Store. I am referring, of course, to Twitter. The social network previously foisted a poorly-written app on Windows 10 users, and it was never kept up-to-date with new features. But with the move to PWAs in Windows 10, Twitter users will finally be able to see the full Twitter experience and do so using  the web app I’ve been using (via Chrome) since last year . The PWA version of Twitter is excellent, an...
