Review by Victor Blake

Overall I’ve been very pleased with Office 2016. I get a bit annoyed when I haven’t used it for a bit and it asks for license information, but other than that the software is faster than previous versions and I’ve never had a crash (running on Surface Pro 3). Integration with One Drive is solid and I use it daily. Integration with Box is far more awkward and rarely works, but can’t blame this on MS. When that fails I use Box Sync to handle files that have to be on box. Download for office definitely takes a bit over a slower broadband connection, but if you have a slow connection I’d advise finding someplace with faster and just doing the download there. Other than the license renewal occasional annoyance, Office 2016 is super solid. I use it for massively large XLS and DOC documents and performance with large docs handily beats Libre Office, Open Office and Google Docs.
