Microsoft Office 2016 for desktops set to arrive later this year (http://www.techspot.com/news/59489-microsoft-office-2016-desktops-set-arrive-later-year.html)

Whereas yesterday belonged to Windows 10 (http://www.techspot.com/news/59474-microsoft-windows-10-event-announcements.html), today is all about Office. Microsoft on Thursday revealed (https://blogs.office.com/2015/01/22/next-chapter-office-windows/) that the next iteration of its productivity suite for the desktop will be called Office 2016 and that it’ll remain the comprehensive experience that people are already familiar with.The admission came buried inside a post about the new Office universal apps (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4ZzzFOmxg0&feature=youtu.be)for Windows 10 that Microsoft touched on (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFc59mKKTEc&feature=youtu.be) during yesterday’s event.
Not wanting to let too much out of the bag just yet, the post only revealed that Office 2016 will be best suited for a PC with a keyboard and mouse and that they have compelling new experiences coming as part of the new suite. The Redmond-based company said they’d have more on the subject in the coming months and that we can expect to see Office 2016 made available in the second half of this year.

Last September, alleged slides of Office 2016 leaked (http://www.techspot.com/news/58123-office-16-to-include-clippys-spiritual-successor-a-new-darker-theme-and-more.html) onto the web. What we saw was an Office with a much darker theme, reportedly one of the top requests in Office 2013. As you can see above, it does seem to be a bit easier on the eyes versus staring at a bright white screen for hours on end.
Office 2016 is also expected to feature the spiritual return of Clippy (Clippit), the animated paperclip assistant bundled with much earlier versions of Office. The new assistant is reportedly called “Tell Me.” It’s essentially a search field positioned at the top of documents to facilitate searching for questions regarding Office features.

It’s unclear if this will be a voice-controlled feature powered by Cortana or simply a standard search field.

Esperemos que a Cortana não seja tão irritante como o Clippy :D

Penso que o Office 16 será o último a sair em versão Win32. Com a saída do Office para a loja, eles vão começar a lançar upgrades com mais e mais funcionalidades portadas do Office tradicional e assim que o Office da loja estiver comparável ao tradicional Office Win32, ficam apenas com o da loja. Mas isto será feito com tempo, aos poucos, é uma grande transição e envolve muita coisa.

Office will soon be free and properly touch optimised (http://www.kitguru.net/gaming/office/brendan-morgan/office-will-soon-be-free-and-properly-touch-optimised/)

Microsoft had a lot to tell us during its Windows 10 event and several big announcements to make. One of the smaller announcements, was that its Office software suite will be getting a proper makeover for touch devices and it will be pre-installed for free on small tablets and phones running Windows 10.With general availability of the Office universal apps expected later this year and preview versions on Windows 10 Tech Preview in coming weeks, we should be able to get our hands on this pretty soon. The Office universal apps run everywhere Windows 10 does, from desktop to tablet and phone, and apart from some slight UI changes, the same code is running behind the app on any Windows 10 powered device. This brings a consistent style to all Windows 10 devices and should make it easier to use Office on any device with the new apps for Android (http://www.kitguru.net/laptops/mobile/blair-mcclelland/microsoft-office-coming-to-ios-android-early-2013/) andiOS (http://www.kitguru.net/apple/anton-shilov/microsoft-office-apps-for-ipad-hit-12-million-downloads/).
http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Word_UI-1024x602.png
The suite will launch with Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Onenote, Outlook Mail and Outlook Calendar providing most of the applications Office users use everyday. All of these have been totally redesigned from the current desktop apps, while maintaining the functionality and fidelity. For instance the ribbon along the top of all Office apps today, is still present, appearing where it normally would on tablets and available as a drag out menu when run on a phone. All documents and recent files will also be accessible through Onedrive and Dropbox (http://www.kitguru.net/channel/generaltech/matthew-wilson/microsoft-and-dropbox-announce-cloud-partnership-for-office/), with recent document lists synchronizing almost instantly between different devices.
The Office team is definitely not abandoning desktop versions of Office however, with Office 2016, the successor to the current Office 2013 already in development. Office 2016 will still be optimised for keyboard and mouse as normal and should come out during the second half of 2015.

Pena que vá ser gratuito apenas nos dispositivos moveis, onde a MS precisa de ganhar mercado.

Jorge-Vieira

Mais uma jogada para ganhar percentagem no mercado movel,a M$ está a apostar as fichas todas para subir a quota de mercado.
No desktop com as alternativas gratuitas, o Office só é necessário para coisas mais elaboradas, logo é algo que é dispensável para a grande maioria dos utilizadores.

Bem verdade, a interface do Office é qualquer coisa de muito mau mesmo, saudosos tempos em que o Office tinha algo de bom.

Sim, de acordo, mas na experiencia global a ribbon dá para atrapalhar mais do que ajudar.

Winjer

24-01-15, 09:43

Tenho uma opinião mista. Se para um certo tipo de tarefas acho que a ribbon agiliza muito os processos, noutras parece que se perde mais tempo a mudar de tabs que a produzir.

Concordo. Fui daqueles que não teve alergia à ribbon, mas mesmo após usar durante bastante tempo, notava que nem sempre era mais rápida para trabalhar.

Office 2016 for desktop coming too

http://www.fudzilla.com/media/k2/items/cache/4854e6b81dc56574c7f493ead970cf23_L.jpg (http://www.fudzilla.com/media/k2/items/cache/4854e6b81dc56574c7f493ead970cf23_XL.jpg)

Second half of 2015

Office is a very important product for Microsoft and the company doesn't plan to abandon the desktop version anytime soon.

These new desktop versions are touch optimized and will end up as part future Office 365 releases, so you will need some kind of subscription for it. We have mentioned that Windows 10 Preview from January just got Word, Excel and PowerPoint Previews (http://www.fudzilla.com/news/36934-office-preview-comes-to-windows-10). They are available for your testing pleasure under Windows 10.

Desktop / Notebook lovers and people who actually want and need to write essays, articles, reports, will want the real thing, and the next office for desktop iteration is called Office 2016 (http://blogs.office.com/2015/02/04/next-chapter-office-windows/).
Microsoft has officially confirmed that the new version is to be expected in the second half of 2016 and that the beta should come out soon. The second half of 2016 is the general availability date.
Office 2016 is optimized for standard keyboard and mouse input on your desktop and notebook, but Microsoft didn’t talk about touch input.
Office 2013 was an all-connected office package, and supported could storage and sharing. We are sure that 2016 will continue down that path. It will be interesting to learn if you will need an Office 365 license to work on your office files on tablets and phones in case you own Office 2016.

Cortana to work double duty as Office 16 virtual assistant

http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2015-02-06-image-8.jpg
Rumors surfaced last September that Clippy’s spiritual successor (http://www.techspot.com/news/58123-office-16-to-include-clippys-spiritual-successor-a-new-darker-theme-and-more.html) (actually named Clippit) was slated to appear in the next version of Office, known as Office 16 (http://www.techspot.com/news/59489-microsoft-office-2016-desktops-set-arrive-later-year.html). At that time, we were told that it would arrive as a modified version of the “Tell Me” helper currently found in Office Online apps but that may no longer be the case.
In what probably isn’t terribly surprising at this point, Microsoft is reportedly planning to have its virtual assistant Cortana (http://www.techspot.com/news/55865-cortana-is-microsofts-answer-to-siri-will-arrive-in-windows-phone-81-update.html) serve double duty as your Office assistant.
Specifically, Microsoft is said to be working on a “Work Assistant (http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/work-assistant/adfd2e4c-f449-4179-8692-d15eea0ba3ce)” app that uses Cortana (or perhaps its backend) to open, edit and share documents using voice commands. Sources tell The Verge (http://www.theverge.com/2015/2/6/7992363/microsoft-office-cortana-features) that it’s currently just a prototype but they plan to integrate it into Office across mobile and desktop platforms in the not-too-distant future.
http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2015-02-06-image-9.jpg
The idea of Cortana arriving on Android and iOS is certainly intriguing although I suspect its functionality would be limited to Office applications, at least initially.
Another thought: could this be the top-secret Personal Agent project (http://www.techspot.com/news/59556-bill-gates-teases-top-secret-personal-agent-project.html) that Bill Gates has been working on?
For the uninitiated among us, Clippy was the nickname given to the annoying assistant that was built into earlier versions of Microsoft’s productivity suite. The tool – an animated paperclip – seemed to pop up at the most inopportune times to offer assistance. Fortunately, Cortana is much more subtle (and useful).

Google Outs Gameplan To Overthrow Microsoft Office

There are few pieces of software (http://hothardware.com/tags/software) as ubiquitous as Microsoft's (http://hothardware.com/tags/microsoft) Office (http://hothardware.com/tags/office), and given its prominence for the past two-and-a-half decades, it's a hard ruler to overthrow. But that notion doesn't tame the likes of Google (http://hothardware.com/tags/google). In fact, the company's come forward about its plans to dethrone Microsoft Office, and nab at least 80% of its business. Now that's what we call ambition. Google's Microsoft Office chase began ten-years-ago with the launch of its Google Apps platform. Today, Google Apps (http://hothardware.com/tags/google-apps) has become a solid all-in-one solution for businesses wanting to move most of their data and services to the cloud, such as email, storage, and so forth.
Since 2007, Google's Docs service has been integrated as well, which allows users to create documents, spreadsheets, and slideshows right on the Web. Best of all, these documents can be edited by more than one person at once, and have advanced sharing capabilities.
image: http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/32584/content/Google_Apps.png
http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/32584/content/Google_Apps.png It wasn't until a couple of years later that Microsoft introduced its own solution, called Office Online (http://hothardware.com/tags/office-online). With its rollout, Microsoft proved that it wasn't at all on the ball. After all, it's probably not a good thing that a competitor which had nothing to do with office suites came out with a next-generation platform before you did.
Nonetheless, Google's early entry no doubt helped with its growth, but Google has some key plans in place to help fuel more rapid growth going forward. At the forefront, the company isn't going to worry about copying every single feature off of Microsoft; 85~90% is suitable. Chances are the remaining 10~15% of features would be niche to the point where having them missing affects very few people.
Interoperability is also important; treating Office documents as a "first-class citizen". That means allowing documents created through Microsoft's Office apps to open up in Google Docs and also Google's Quickoffice accurately. This ties into the next point, of not trying to convince enterprises to make the move over to Google Apps. Given the service's features, Google hopes that it will just happen over time.
image: http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/32584/content/Google_Docs_Writer.jpg
http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/32584/content/Google_Docs_Writer.jpg One of the key reasons for this subtle luring is that with Google Apps, you don't need to pay for an entire Office license for someone who barely makes use of it. With Google Apps, there's a flat fee (and a reasonable one; $120/yr) that delivers Google's Docs apps as well as a plethora of other ones, like Gmail (http://hothardware.com/tags/gmail).
Other plans help lock people in: Teach them about the features that they won't want to go without, get them to use other products that Google offers, and also show them how Google's cloud can allow them to work on-the-go.
As an end-user, I can understand where Google is going with its Docs service and others, but I've come to prefer Office quite a bit more for a couple of reasons: I can use a desktop app, the performance seems better (online), and the interface is also better. But as I said, I'm an end-user, for business, cloud and mobile (http://hothardware.com/tags/mobile) emphasis probably wouldn't prove to be too much of a detriment. I do question whether Google's quoted 80% is a wee bit too ambitious, though. Time will tell.

Office 2016 Can be Downloaded to test

Microsoft has a private Office 2016 beta group who have access to the next version of Office, and if you feel bummed that you were not included in the group, there is now a way to download it.
If you head to this link (https://connect.microsoft.com/directory/non-feedback), you can now sign up for the Office 2016 preview and download the bits right now. After signing the NDA, you will be taken to a dashboard where you can download the January technical preview of Office 2016. During the sign-up process, it will ask you to enter the email address where you received the invitation to join the program but if you enter any email address, you are automatically accepted into the program. We are not sure if this is a bug, as it would appear that they do try to authenticate the email to the user before offering access, or simply a backwards way to reach the open beta, either way, it allows anyone to download the pre-release software.
Update, it seems that MS has taken the download offline again .. ?

Mixing and Swaying with the Latest Office Offerings (https://www.thurrott.com/office/1552/mixing-swaying-latest-office-offerings)

While old-school productivity offerings like Word, Excel and PowerPoint are still very much core to the Office experience, Microsoft has really stretched the boundaries of what it means to be an Office app over the past year. And two of its most recent offerings—Office Mix and Office Sway—are interesting, forward-leaning examples of how authoring in Office is changing.Office MixOffice Mix (https://mix.office.com/) is the more traditional of the two new Office solutions, since it’s really an add-in for PowerPoint. But it doesn’t take long to see how Mix represents a new way of thinking. With straight-up PowerPoint, you can create presentations which are essentially a one-way form of communication. Yes, you will (hopefully) interact with your audience while speaking to a PowerPoint presentation, but there is little interaction functionality in the actual product.
Mix changes that. It helps you change your unidirectional presentations into interactive online lessons that you can share with others. So while you use PowerPoint to create a presentation, you use Mix to create a … mix.
You can discover much of what Mix adds to PowerPoint by simply viewing the new Mix tab that appears in that app after the add-in is installed. Here, you’ll see options for recording your slides, adding quizzes and other interactive elements, recording the screen, taking a screenshot, inserting audio and video, and more.
https://www.thurrott.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/mix-ribbon.jpg (https://www.thurrott.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/mix-ribbon.jpg)
Once you’re done mixing, you can also upload your mix to a My Mixes pages at Microsoft’s Office Mix (https://mix.office.com/MyMixes) site, so you can share it with others. This isn’t a video, as you might share on YouTube, though it does provide that one-sided output option as well. Instead, a mix is a new kind of interactive document that’s designed to be web-hosted so that viewers can access it from any web browser on any device. So while Mix does require a certain version of Office during creation—Office 2013 for Windows or newer—its output is very much universal by design.
This is perhaps a more important point than is immediately obvious. With traditional core Office applications—again, Word, Excel and PowerPoint—you are essentially working with a document, a file that you manually manage. But the output of Mix—your mix—is more nebulous. It’s an online thing. There is no way to create an “offline” version of a mix.
https://www.thurrott.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/mix-pc-1024x562.png (https://www.thurrott.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/mix-pc.png)
As you might expect, Mix has been very well received by teachers and educators, trainers, and other presenters. And you can find some impressive public mixes in the Office Mix Gallery (https://mix.office.com/Gallery). You can watch Bill Gates explain why there won’t be any more poor countries by 2035 (https://mix.office.com/watch/1otxpj7hz6kbx). Watch Bill McGowan explain how to communicate effectively (https://mix.office.com/watch/4hzljs89fhr8). Or just learn a lot more about Office Mix (https://mix.office.com/gallery/category/how-to). There is an amazing range of educational content in the gallery.
Office SwayBecause Mix works with an existing and well-understood Office application there is a bit of a comfort zone to using it, and those who are familiar with PowerPoint should immediately see the benefits of this add-on. Office Sway (https://sway.com/), however, is quite a bit different and indeed quite a bit more forward leaning. It is also quite a bit more confusing.
Like Mix, Office Sway exists in the cloud: there are no downloadable or offline files for viewers/readers to access. Unlike Mix, Sway is a completely new Office app, and it’s currently only available on the web—which is where you would access it from a PC or tablet—and via a single mobile app on iOS (iPhone and iPad). Microsoft tells me Android and Windows Phone apps are coming soon too.
https://www.thurrott.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/sway-iphone.jpg (https://www.thurrott.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/sway-iphone.jpg)
You use Office Sway to create—wait for it—a sway, a new kind of interactive web app that frees you from the time consuming and difficult process of learning and mastering good layout and presentation so you can focus on your content. This is quite different from PowerPoint, and thus Mix. Microsoft describes Sway as a sort of “designer in a box” that lets you focus on intent—what you’re trying to communicate, of course, but also which bits should be specially emphasized—rather than what it looks like.
Indeed, a sway is a living entity of sorts in that you do not create a hard-coded document that needs to retain its structural and layout integrity when viewed on different devices. Instead, a sway will adapt automatically to the device you’re using, be a small-screen phone, a tablet, or a large-screen PC, and to the screen orientation. And it will do so without requiring the sway’s maker to understand let alone master how that works.
https://www.thurrott.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/sway-pc.jpg (https://www.thurrott.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/sway-pc.jpg)
Sways are also multimedia, letting you incorporate text, photos and other graphics, videos, and other content. For those with some layout skill, Sway does let you choose from templates and other organizational elements. But you can also go full auto and even “remix” an entire sway, letting Sway pick layouts that make the most sense for the content you’ve chosen.
Like Mix, Sway is already a big hit with educators, but in this case it’s the students using the tool, not the teachers. That’s because Sway is such a natural and creative way to make projects that combine different types of content into a single web app. And as with Mix, your sways are available online, and can be shared with others.
More soon…I’ll be looking more closely at both of these solutions in the near future and will create a few mixes and sways of my own to see whether it makes sense to incorporate these new tools into my own work.

Microsoft Makes Available Office 2016 Preview For Mac Users
Good news, Office (http://hothardware.com/tags/office) for Mac users: Microsoft (http://hothardware.com/tags/microsoft) has just released the first public preview for its upcoming Office 2016 suite. Of course, opting into the preview is free, and installing it will not replace a current install of Office 2011.

In recent months, Microsoft has rolled-out updated versions of OneNote and Outlook, per ZDNET's Mary Jo Foley, while this preview brings the rest of the apps -- Word, Excel, PowerPoint -- up to speed.
image: http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/32861/content/Microsoft_Office_2016_OS_X_Preview.jpg
http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/32861/content/Microsoft_Office_2016_OS_X_Preview.jpg Similar to how it's handling its Windows 10 (http://hothardware.com/tags/windows-10) preview, Microsoft will be making regular updates to its Office 2016 preview, and from the date of a build's publishing, it'll be good for 60 days. Once the final build rolls out, Microsoft will be giving users a 30 day grace period, during which they can choose to purchase the suite (it is included in Office 365), or drop back down to their previous install.
It's expected that Office 2016 will launch this summer, and it's even expected that it'll launch well before the Windows (http://hothardware.com/tags/windows) variant -- something that's likely caused by the fact that there are unannounced additions to be made to that version.
The biggest features to expect from the preview include an overhauled ribbon, improved support for high-resolution displays, and of course, cloud support for Microsoft's OneDrive (http://hothardware.com/tags/onedrive).

The Top 10 Features of Microsoft’s Office 2016 Mac Preview

http://cdn.eteknix.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Microsoft-Office-Mac-1-800x450.jpg
Microsoft is finally releasing a new redesigned version of its Office suite for Mac this year. The new suite is the first refresh of Microsoft Office for Mac since 2011, a 5 year gap during which Microsoft did not release any new version for Apple’s operating system.
The new Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Outlook apps aim to bring the Office suit in par with the Windows version in terms of design and functionality. Being a preview version means that the apps are not perfect. However, Microsoft states that it will only use the user feedback to make a few minor tweaks and improvements, which leads to believe that the final product will be more or less how it looks and feels now.
The top 10 features of Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac, as highlighted by Mashable, includes a Full Screen View Support, clearly emphasising that Office 2016 for Mac is truly built for Yosemite and can switch from windowed to full screen, compared to its predecessor which could not.

Microsoft Office to be free on smaller Windows devices

Microsoft wants to provide Office for free for personal users who will be using the productivity software on a Windows device of 10.1 inches or less. Such users should be free to view, edit and create documents, enjoying a freemium experience, says the Microsoft Office blog (http://blogs.office.com/2015/03/24/mobile-versus-professional-thoughts-on-the-office-business/). This move will bring Office access to Windows users in line with the way it is distributed to iOS and Android users. While most core essential features of Office will be free for smaller screened Windows device users, Microsoft will offer full advanced use via an Office 365 subscription.
Writing on the Office blog, Kirk Koenigsbauer explained that Microsoft had "carefully thought through the use cases and business implications involved," to categorise users and decide upon licensing models. To divide users between the 'personal' and 'professional' types Microsoft thought the most straightforward way would be though screen size; "Based on our research, we are classifying anything with a screen size of 10.1 inches or less as a true mobile device: You’re probably using it on the go, when it’s not practical to use a larger computing device such as a PC or a Mac. You probably aren’t using a mouse or a keyboard, instead navigating via touch interface. It's probably not a 'pro' category tablet that is used for design or presentations," wrote Koenigsbauer. Therefore, he summarised, "On these devices, the core editing and viewing experience is free, until you get to those premium, subscription features."
http://hexus.net/media/uploaded/2015/3/a74222cd-63ed-4f59-8ac2-30e0108c12dd.jpg
The freemium Office has done very well on iOS, says Microsoft. On iPad alone it has seen over 80 million downloads of its productivity software in under a year. It also seems like people are taking the bait and upgrading to an Office subscription, as Office 365 Home and Office 365 Personal grew to more than 9.2 million subscribers in the last quarter, up 30 per cent. In business professional Office 365 subscriptions are up 88 per cent from a year ago.
http://hexus.net/media/uploaded/2015/3/d0343d21-2a21-4d2c-825f-6d99ad6cf847.jpg
Microsoft has chopped and changed its Windows and Office pricing and offers rather a lot over recent years, as it gets used to the tablet and smaller screened device market. Early tablets and convertibles offered Windows 8 with Microsoft Office 2013 Home & Student. Currently we have 10.1-inch and smaller tablets coming with Windows 8.1 with Bing and a free year of Office 365. In the future it looks like these 'personal' devices will offer Windows 10 and the freemium Office suite similar to the iOS/Android versions.
To push Office further on Android Microsoft has also recently announced partnerships (http://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2015/03/23/microsoft-expands-partnerships-with-leading-device-manufacturers/) with the likes of Dell, Samsung and others. These hardware partners will Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, OneDrive and Skype on upcoming hardware this year.

Microsoft Office 2016 Public Preview For Windows PCs Now Available For Download
Microsoft has rolled out a new preview build of Office 2016 (http://hothardware.com/tags/office-2016) for Windows PCs (Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 (http://hothardware.com/tags/windows-10)). This is just the second preview build of Office 2016 (http://hothardware.com/news/microsoft-office-2016-coming-in-latter-half-of-2015); the first was released in March and was specifically aimed at developers and IT Pros. Today’s release targets everyone, including general consumers.

For Office 365 subscribers that want to test out Office 2016, you can simply head over to the Office My Account page, click on “Language and install options” and next click “Additional install options” after which you will see a drop-down menu to install either there 32-bit or 64-bit version of Office 2016.
For users without an Office 365 subscription, you can select either the 32-bit (download here (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=534759)) or 64-bit (download here (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=534760)) version of Office 2016 and use the Microsoft-supplied product key.

http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/33558/content/small_office2016_2.jpg

It should be noted, however, that if you already have Office 2013 installed, you will have to remove it order to install Office 2016. So if you’ve grown attached to Office 2013 and aren’t willing to let some bugs interrupt your daily work flow, you might want to install Office 2016 on a spare desktop, laptop, or tablet.
Office 2016 brings with it fresh features like real-time co-authoring, improved data analysis for Excel, “Smart Applications” that adapt to your work habits to make you more productive, and new tools to help you easily integrated your work flow with the “cloud.”

http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/33558/content/small_office2016_1.jpg

Over the last 12 months, we’ve transformed Office from a suite of desktop applications to a complete, cross-platform, cross-device solution for getting work done,” wrote the Office 365 Team. “But that doesn’t mean we’ve forgotten where we came from. While you’ve seen us focus on tuning Office for different platforms over the last year, make no mistake, Office on Windows desktop is central to our strategy.”
Microsoft released an Office 2016 preview for Mac (http://hothardware.com/tags/mac) users back in early March (http://hothardware.com/news/microsoft-makes-available-office-2016-preview-for-mac-users). The most recent retail version of Microsoft’s productivity suite for Macs is currently Office 2011.

Collaborating In Microsoft's Word 2016 Preview: Hands-On

Microsoft launched its Office 2016 Preview, which comes with collaborative editing gizmos in Word. Are they good enough to take the throne from Google, though?
http://media.bestofmicro.com/5/L/495273/gallery/office_2016_w_195.jpg
Just yesterday, Microsoft launched the Office 2016 Preview (http://www.tomshardware.com/news/microsoft-public-preview-office-2016,29034.html), and with it came a couple of new features. These include stronger improved data analysis in Excel, flexible deployment for admins, added security features, and more. Today, we take a look at a more pressing feature though – the collaborative editing.
In today's world, many group projects are done with some form of collaborative editing, where multiple users edit a single document all at the same time. There are a handful of collaborative editing tools available today, with Google Docs setting the standard.
Of course, it is widely known that Google Docs is great for editing text or simple spreadsheets in groups, but formatting in Google Docs is still a bit dodgy, so most groups will find themselves simply working on the raw text in there, and when it is done, having one member of the group move the content to a better text editor for the final makeup. http://media.bestofmicro.com/5/K/495272/gallery/office4_w_600.png (http://www.tomshardware.com/gallery/office4,0101-495272-0-2-12-1-png-.html)
Because of formatting problems, when Microsoft announced collaborative editing in Word we were quite excited, because this may just make it the ultimate go-to text editor for group work, taking the throne from Google.
So, I fired up the Office 2016 Preview installation, which went smooth as butter. The only hitch I experienced on the way was that the "Terms & Conditions" dialogue that you're supposed to read through was empty. Delightfully, I pressed accept for no conditions at all, and got to work.

http://media.bestofmicro.com/5/H/495269/original/office1.PNGNo Terms? Cool! I'd like to see this more often.
To use the collaborative editing feature, you must use Microsoft's OneDrive. I had never used OneDrive before, but signing into my Microsoft account and setting it up was a snap, as was saving a document to it.
This is where things started to take a turn, however. I installed the suite on a second PC too, and signed in with another Microsoft account, but while sharing the document was fairly easy, when I edited the document on the second PC no changes showed up on the first. I hit CTRL-S to save the document, and still no changes showed up, but I did get a pop-up dialogue telling me that "When you save, Word updates your document with the changes made by others."
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that isn't the real-time editing we were promised.http://media.bestofmicro.com/5/I/495270/original/office2.PNG
Fortunately, the Web editor does work the way it is meant to. Between two different web editors working on the same document, changes do show up in real-time, albeit with a notable delay. This delay isn't game-breaking, but it is enough to put me off from using the Web editor, too. Naturally, to see anything that's been typed in through the Web editor, users on the desktop application will have to save their document to see the changes.
http://media.bestofmicro.com/5/J/495271/original/office3.png
Due to these flaws, at this very moment, I simply cannot recommend using Word in the Microsoft Office 2016 Preview for collaborative editing. The experience is too broken and unrefined, and will likely cause more headaches than it is worth.
However, let's look at it in another way: This is still a Preview application, and therefore not representative of the final product. All we can hope for is that the way it works now isn't the way that Microsoft has intended for the collaborative editor to work, and that the current version is simply a makeshift fix in order to have a working prototype out in time for this Preview package.
What will it take to make us happy with the collaborative editing feature in Microsoft Word? A simple setup (check), easy sharing (check), along with real-time editing between the Web editor and the desktop application as snappy as it works in Google Docs, without sacrificing any of Word's compelling features. In short, I just want to use the feature, without having to think about how to use it.

Microsoft Office 2016 Updated With Collaborative Real Time Presence, Contextual Insights

Microsoft is planning to release a new version of its Office productivity suite, Office 2016, sometime later this year (http://hothardware.com/news/microsoft-office-2016-coming-in-latter-half-of-2015). In the meantime, Microsoft has made available an Office 2016 Public Preview (http://hothardware.com/news/microsoft-office-2016-public-preview-for-windows-pcs-now-available-for-download), which is also available for Mac users (http://hothardware.com/news/microsoft-makes-available-office-2016-preview-for-mac-users), and there are a few new features that were just added. One of them is called "Real Time Presence," a technology that ties into Real Time Typing.

What Real Time Presence does is allow you to see not only who is editing a shared document, but where in a document a teammate is making edits. It's a feature that Microsoft says will be available first for OneDrive for Business subscribers, and then more broadly soon.

http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/33936/content/Office_2016_Systems.jpg

Another addition is called Insights for Office. Insights gives you contextual information from the web via Bing search -- it's initiated by selecting keyboards, like people or places. When you do that, Insights will pluck relevant data from the web and place it into the Task pane. It's currently available in both Word and Outlook.

Microsoft also said it's simplifying the process of sharing files with others to review, comment, and edit. All you have to do is click Share on the Ribbon and your file will save to the cloud and be available for others.

Finally, Office 2016 will make it easier to find different versions of stored files on SharePoint or OneDrive for Business. By clicking the History command in the File menu, you'll be able to view and restore any previous version.

Microsoft Recaps Current Office 2016 Features

http://media.bestofmicro.com/N/Y/508894/gallery/Office-2016-Preview-update-2_w_600.png (http://www.tomshardware.com/gallery/Office-2016-Preview-update-2,0101-508894-0-2-12-1-png-.html)Microsoft Office 2016 is still in the works (http://www.tomshardware.com/news/microsoft-public-preview-office-2016,29034.html), but some users are testing it out (http://www.tomshardware.com/news/microsoft-office-2016-preview-collaborative,29040.html) with Office 2016 Preview, which started in May. Numerous updates have been added in the last two months, but Microsoft wanted to create an overall recap of the biggest improvements from June.
Excel received an additional six charts to its roster called Waterfall, Histogram, Pareto, Box & Whisker, Treemap and Sunburst, which could be a godsend for those who want to use the program to input large amounts of data numerous times without the same boring layout. There's also the introduction of Insights in both Excel and PowerPoint; the feature, first implemented in Word and Outlook, provides a quick reference guide, via Bing, to various terms in your presentation or report. Think of it as a little notecard that can help the presenter with more information.
http://media.bestofmicro.com/O/0/508896/gallery/Office-2016-Preview-update-3v2_w_600.png (http://www.tomshardware.com/gallery/Office-2016-Preview-update-3v2,0101-508896-0-2-12-1-png-.html)For Word, users can now see real-time typing on every document, if it's shared with other users. You can test it out by putting the document file in OneDrive for Business and sharing it. The feature isn't new for those who have used Google Docs and other online word processing tools, but it could certainly prove useful for those who prefer using Microsoft Office.
If you're having trouble finding various commands on Word, Excel, PowerPoint or Outlook, there's a simple bar at the top of each app called Tell Me. By typing in your desired command, it will list a few results that match your command description. There's also Insert Equation, another interesting function in Word, Excel and PowerPoint, that allows you to write equations with a stylus, mouse or your finger, and it will automatically transfer to the document as a typed formula. Math and science users will get the most out of this implementation, which should shave off a few minutes from creating tests or writing long research papers.
http://media.bestofmicro.com/N/Z/508895/gallery/Office-2016-Preview-update-4-v2_w_600.png (http://www.tomshardware.com/gallery/Office-2016-Preview-update-4-v2,0101-508895-0-2-12-1-png-.html)We're only two months into the Preview stages, so there's bound to be even more improvements to the new Office. While it won't be ready by the time Windows 10 launches in a few weeks (a release date is set for the second half of 2015 (http://www.tomshardware.com/news/microsoft-office-windows-touch-universal,28443.html)), there's no doubt that it plays an integral part in the operating system, specifically with Universal Apps. The new features are no longer exclusive to the desktop version of Office, so we'll be curious to see how new charts and inserting hand-written equations will work on your Windows mobile device or tablet.

Microsoft Preps September 22nd PC Launch For Office 2016

A new version of Microsoft's (http://hothardware.com/tags/microsoft) popular productivity suite is nearing release for Windows users. Yes, we're talking about Office 2016 (http://hothardware.com/news/microsoft-office-2016-coming-in-latter-half-of-2015), which incidentally was released to the Mac OS X platform early last month, ending a nearly five-year drought (prior to Office 2016, the last Office release for Mac was in 2011).

Citing a source "close to Microsoft," German-language website WinFuture.de says that Office 2016 is scheduled to launch for Windows exactly four weeks from today on September 22. The forthcoming launch will cover home and professional users, with a SKU for enterprise users coming at a later date.

http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/34822/content/Office_2016.jpg

"On September 22, 2015, we'll release Office 2016 -- with updates for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Skype for Business, Project, Visio, Access, and Publisher," Microsoft purportedly stated in a leaked launch note. "The innovation wave continues in Q2 with the release of E5 and Skype for Business, and on-premise servers will follow."

Office 2016 is a desktop release, though it will tap into the cloud to offer users real-time co-authoring (http://hothardware.com/news/microsoft-office-2016-updated-with-collaborative-real-time-presence-contextual-insights) capabilities, an important feature upgrade as cloud-based alternatives like Google Docs continue to improve.

http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/34822/content/Office_2016_Systems.jpg

Microsoft is including a colorful new theme in Office 2016 similar to what you see on the Mac, iOS, and Android app versions. There will also be a darker theme for those looking for something a little different, The Verge (http://www.theverge.com/2015/8/25/9204575/microsoft-office-2016-windows-release-date-rumors) notes.

Pricing has not yet been announced, though as a point of reference, Office Home & Student 2013 runs $140, Office Home & Business 2013 runs $220, and Office Professional 2013 runs $400.

Microsoft Office 2016 For Windows Is Coming Next Month

Microsoft is expected to launch the latest edition of Microsoft Office by the end of next month, in a bid to merge all office software across Windows. In the Office 2016 there aren’t many alterations as compared to already existing features but there will be a change in the color theme.
22nd September will be the likely release date

There have been rumors that the new version of Microsoft’s popular Office for Windows has certain features identical to its equivalent in Mac which was released in July. The users will now have a new colorful theme, probably customizable, similar to iOS, Android apps. It is also quite similar to the Windows 10 touch-optimized versions of Office (http://www.theverge.com/2015/2/5/7983813/microsoft-office-windows-10-touch-apps-hands-on) and with some similarities to the older versions of Excel, Word and PowerPoint.
Microsoft said Now, you will be “able to pick and attach files on your SharePoint or OneDrive accounts even if they don’t appear in your recent items list”.

The colorful new theme will most likely attract people who don’t like the dull and dark theme available right now. Basically Microsoft is improving several things this time around in Outlook 2016 they are working on the email delivery performance, increasing storage and making attachment easier for users and image insertion option in both Word and Excel 2016. They are also refining the results for search option as well which has been the biggest challenge for them until now. A little orientation is required in order to insert images in documents automatically and so lesser number of clicks will be needed while inserting an image.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/office-20161-635x333.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/office-20161.jpg)

It is expected that this change may be happily accepted by various businesses in which the biggest change is word permits for actual co-authoring in the desktop version of 2016 Microsoft office. The official date of its launch is not yet confirmed but according to different sources it is possibly launching on 22ndof September. Right now testing on the final build of Microsoft office 2016 is under process. According to some reports the new Microsoft office suite 2016 would cost around €140 (£102), and Office Home and Business 2016 would be around €240 (£176). It will be released in 139 countries for MAC and approximately in 16 languages around the globe by the month of July.

A page of Office 2016 Launch Hub stated,
“We’ll release Office 2016 with updates for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Skype for Business, Project, Visio, Access, and Publisher. The innovation wave continues in Q2 with the release of E5 and Skype for Business, and on-premise servers will follow.”

Office 2016 for Windows rollout begins on 22nd September

Microsoft has announced (https://blogs.office.com/2015/09/10/admins-get-ready-for-office-2016-rollout-begins-september-22/) that Office 2016 for Windows will begin to roll out from 22nd September. Those with volume licensing agreements will be able to download Office 2016 from 1st October.
The full launch of Office 2016 comes after months of pre-releases and refinements. The productivity software suite has been available as a public preview since May and to developers and so on even earlier than that. Later in autumn the public preview will expire and enter a reduced functionality mode.
http://hexus.net/media/uploaded/2015/9/e3e07473-d692-4b61-b917-5db193793e70.jpg
Key updates to the software include the ability to collaboratively edit documents on screen with others in real time. That's been something available in Office Online for some time already. However much of the update revolve around making the suite more cloud friendly allowing people to switch from device to device and location and not creating a confusing multitude of documents at different stages of editing.

<iframe width="700" height="394" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6Gn86IBTF3s" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

The blog post announcing the rollout of the new version of Office concentrates on the improvements to the Office update model for organisational subscribers. Businesses don't like updates to be foisted upon them before they are thoroughly checked and Microsoft has implemented a new system with this in mind. This new option for updating Office is called 'Current Branch for Business' and it is based upon the feedback gained from Office 365 ProPlus users.
"Consistent with Windows 10 approach, the new Current Branch for Business update model delivers three cumulative feature updates per year, while continuing to offer monthly security updates. You’ll see the first Current Branch for Business build in February 2016—which is effectively the same feature set as the September 22nd release, but with four additional months of security updates also included. This tri-annual update model offers an additional way for Office 365 ProPlus to stay current moving forward."
http://hexus.net/media/uploaded/2015/9/87cf9fdc-3ed9-462a-83b6-b712bab146ba.jpg
Macs have had access to Office 2016 since July (https://blogs.office.com/2015/07/09/office-2016-for-mac-is-here/), however its use has been tied to an Office 365 subscription.

Microsoft Kicks Off Office Insider Program For Eager Beaver Testers

image: http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/35709/content/small_Microsoft_Excel_Insider_Program.jpg (http://hothardware.com/gallery/NewsItem/35709?image=big_microsoft_excel_insider_program.jp g&tag=popup)
http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/35709/content/small_Microsoft_Excel_Insider_Program.jpg (http://hothardware.com/gallery/NewsItem/35709?image=big_microsoft_excel_insider_program.jp g&tag=popup) Over the past five or so years, Microsoft (http://hothardware.com/tags/microsoft) has really warmed up to beta testers. More than any other Windows (http://hothardware.com/tags/windows) before it, Windows 10 (http://hothardware.com/tags/windows-10) had an incredible amount of community effort behind it, and before the OS officially launched, many complaints and criticisms led it to arguably be the smoothest Windows launch ever.
Of course, even as great as that launch was, Microsoft quickly proved that we simply can't have it all: the OS has a lot going for it, but it's also the most invasive ever (http://hothardware.com/news/windows-10-ignores-user-privacy-settings-still-sends-identifiable-info-to-microsoft). Fortunately, we've got you covered (http://hothardware.com/news/heres-how-to-keep-microsofts-nose-out-of-your-personal-data-in-windows-10) if you want to take steps to best protect yourself, as well as optimize the OS after an upgrade is over (http://hothardware.com/news/clean-up-and-recover-storage-space-after-the-windows-10-upgrade) and done with.
Microsoft's OSes are not the only piece of software that the company has invited testers to try out. Even the company's development products (such as Visual Studio) have enjoyed preview versions for a number of years, and more recently, Xbox gamers have been (http://hothardware.com/news/microsoft-rolls-out-xbox-one-experience-bringing-windows-10-and-backwards-compatibility-november-12th) able to get on the action, as well.
Now, the company proves that there are really no limits about what people can help it test. The company has just begun bringing its Office (http://hothardware.com/tags/office) suite into the "Insider" scheme of things, allowing those on the desktop or mobile (http://hothardware.com/tags/mobile) to take bleeding-edge versions of the apps for a spin. An example can be seen at the top of this post, with Excel 2016, but it understandably looks no different than the RTM, as that just released a (http://hothardware.com/news/microsoft-confirms-september-22th-office-2016-debut-for-pcs) few months ago. A mobile teaser can be seen below:
image: http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/35709/content/Office_Insider_Mobile.jpg
http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/35709/content/Office_Insider_Mobile.jpg Microsoft stresses that those who help it test out the latest builds and their features will help shape the future of Office. It's making it easy to help, too. You simply need to visit the "Additional Install Options" page in your Office 365 (http://hothardware.com/tags/office-365) account and choose the appropriate option from the drop-down. If you already have Office 365 installed, you don't need to worry about uninstalling the current version first.
Currently, the Insider program applies to the PC/Windows version, as well as Android (http://hothardware.com/tags/android) and Windows Mobile (http://hothardware.com/tags/windows-mobile). Support for the Mac OS X (http://hothardware.com/tags/os-x) version will come in a few months. If you're a business user, you will have to take additional steps to enter into this testing. All information can be found at the link below.

Insider Program for Microsoft Office lets Mac users get early access

Microsoft's Office Insider Program used to only be for Windows users, letting you download beta updates that let you preview experimental upcoming features. Now Apple users can get in on the fun (https://blogs.office.com/2016/01/21/new-to-office-365-in-january-new-inking-tools-collaboration-improvements-office-insider-builds-now-available-for-mac-and-more/) with a preview program of their own.

The Mac Preview Program lets Office 365 subscribers opt into the program by checking the appropriate box from inside the Microsoft Auto Update tool. It's simple and generally the features that get pushed to the insider program don't cause Office in general to be unstable.

The blog post announcing the insider program didn't specify anything Mac users can look forward to, though it's not too much of a stretch to think that whatever features come to the Windows version will also find their way to the Mac version as well.

Microsoft is Introducing an Additional Patch Tuesday for Non-Security Updates

Microsoft (http://wccftech.com/after-years-of-experimenting-live-tiles-are-on-the-way/) is making a change to how it delivers security and non-security updates every month to Office. Until now, the company has delivered all the updates to Office on the same Tuesday, along with the releases to rest of its products. A new Patch Tuesday is now being added for delivering non-security updates.

Microsoft announces an “important change” in the release schedule Microsoft’s Office Sustained Engineering Team has announced a new Office update schedule. Starting from next month, all the future non-security related Microsoft Office updates will be sent out on the first Tuesday of every month. Up until now, the company has delivered both the security and non-security updates in the same package on the second Tuesday (http://wccftech.com/a-new-windows-10-pc-cumulative-update-coming-next-week/) of every month. Security updates will continue to come on Patch Tuesday to Office, which will be the second Tuesday of every month.
Here is how the new security update schedule will work:

We want to let you know about an important change coming to the release schedule for Office updates so that you can plan accordingly. Until now, both security and non-security updates have been released on the second Tuesday of each month. Starting in April, the non-security updates will be released in Microsoft Update and the Windows Server Update Service (WSUS) on the first Tuesday of the month, which is April 5 in this case. This will include all updates that have the Critical or Definition classification. Updates with the Security classification will continue to release on second Tuesday as usual.
This essentially means that every Tuesday will bring something to you. Expect to see bug fixes in the first week of every month. The second Tuesday will bring you security updates under the Patch Tuesday routine. While the last two weeks have recently started to bring out Surface firmware updates or new preview releases (http://wccftech.com/windows-10-redstone-14271-released-to-the-fast-ring/).

If you are getting confused in all this Tuesday-talk, expect to see regular Office updates for non-security issues on April 5. Following this, April 12 will be the Patch Tuesday, bringing you all the security-related fixes for Office, along with the regular security updates for other products.

Boa noite,

Alguém sabe se é possível no Outlook alterar um endereço de email? Estou a pensar mudar o meu, fazer um novo nem pensar pois tenho conteúdos anexados a este email/conta Microsoft, apenas gostaria de editar o endereço em si. É possível?

Cumprimentos.

O Outlook é apenas um programa de correio electrónico que acede ao servidor de e-mail. Se a tua conta no hotmail é utilizador@hotmail.com tu não consegues alterar mais nada porque foi registado assim. Se alterares no Outlook por exemplo para utilizadorpt@hotmail.com estás a indicar uma outra conta de correio que não a inicial. Agora o que é possível a nível de correio é fazeres um backup mas a nível de serviços da conta aí já poderá ser mais difícil migrares...

Boa noite,

Estava a referir-me ao Outlook da web! Sei que o Outlook tem um programa ou aplicação para aceder ao serviço de email, mas referia-me ao Outlook pelo site. Em que se pode gerir o email, a conta Microsoft, o perfil, etc. No Outlook.com anterior a este novo update era possível alterar o email em si nas definições, agora com o novo Outlook.com andei para lá a vasculhar as opções e não encontrei nada. O suporte também está encerrado por ser fim de semana, por isso vim aqui perguntar.

Cumprimentos.

Então pelo que percebi pretende criar um "Alias" termo utilizado pelo Outlook. Vais às Definições e depois em Contas. E depois em Contas Ligadas, terás a tua conta principal e depois poderás adicionar um novo e-mail :)

Não sei se ainda funciona assim, mas antigamente no serviço ADSL SAPO além do e-mail com o nome de utilizador as....@sapo era possível criar e-mails associados a este serviço, na altura cheguei a utilizar e acho que permitia criar 5 contas de correio. Agora não sei como funciona isso, pois já não tenho serviço sapo...

Boa noite,

Realmente já vi isso dos aliás. E estou com algumas duvidas. O que é ao certo um aliás? É como se fosse um segundo email dentro do mesmo email? O Outlook.com tem lá isso sim. Se fizer um aliás fico com dois emails associados á mesma conta Microsoft? E depois posso eliminar o mais antigo (o que tenho atualmente e com o qual criei a conta) e ficar só com o email novo?

Cumprimentos.

Eu por exemplo tenho na empresa um .com que é gerido por um Gmail. No entanto já ficou cheio e agora tenho a gerir isso tudo um email do Outlook.pt.

O que ele faz é enviar o Gmail para o Outlook e apaga no Gmail. O Outlook gere tudo. Um bocado mistura mas assim continua a borla sem ter que pagar mais pelo espaço.

No teu caso poderás fazer o mesmo.

Respondendo a tua pergunta o mais lógico é teres que ficar com os 2. Porque quem te enviar para o antigo não sabe do novo.

Sim, tal como Tchoui disse até porque o e-mail original é que continua a ser a referencia do registo. E acho que o e-mail "aliado" reencaminha para o original ou fica associado aos serviços do e-mail original. Mas nada como experimentares criar um Alias e tentares remover o e-mail original. Mas novamente como o Tchoui referiu, se enviar para o mail antigo, poderás não receber porque está desactivado e depois de determinado tempo estará disponível para um novo registo.

Boa noite,

Obrigado então pelas sugestões. Também tenciono falar com o apoio da Microsoft para saber se é possível alterarem o endereço de email em si ou onde posso ser eu a fazer tal coisa, antes de pensar na questão do alias. Se tiver de recorrer ao alias depois conto como correu a experiência.

Cumprimentos.

Parece que a Microsoft quer acabar com as versões retail do Office mais cedo ou mais tarde. Andam a cortar benefícios a essas versões, em prol do Office 365.

Microsoft is pushing Office 2016 users towards Office 365

In a bid to further persuade users of the standalone versions of Office to shift over to a cloud subscription (Office 365), Microsoft has announced that those who made a one-off purchase of an Office product will no longer get access to the business flavours of OneDrive and Skype come the end of the decade.
So here, we are talking about folks who have bought a standalone copy of Office 2016 or previous versions of the suite. Currently, these users can access and make use of both OneDrive for Business and Skype for Business.
However, on October 13, 2020 – which is the date for the end of mainstream support for Office 2016 – these users will have their access to both OneDrive and Skype business services cut off.
In other words, Microsoft wants you to switch over from a standalone product to an Office 365 subscription in order to keep these benefits.

In a blog post, Microsoft said: “We’re providing more than three years’ notice to give IT time to plan and budget for this change. Until this new requirement goes into effect in 2020, Office 2010, Office 2013 and Office 2016 perpetual clients will still be able to connect to Office 365 services.”
The firm also explained that those connecting to Office 365 services with a legacy version of Office were not enjoying the full range of benefits on offer.
But now, they won’t be enjoying any benefits come 2020, of course.
Microsoft is constantly refining Office 365 and pushing both consumers and business users towards the subscription offering for obvious reasons, and with some considerable success.
Indeed, last autumn, Microsoft announced some impressive Office 365 user numbers – the online suite had 85 million active commercial users, and 24 million consumers. And those ranks have doubtless swelled since then.

Para a empresa, claro que faz sentido. É uma renda garantida e assim os utilizadores não podem pagar uma vez e usar para sempre. Para o utilizador, é mais caro.
