Microsoft has released an early 64-bit version of Office 2016 for the Mac, giving adventurous users a chance to finally make the move off 32-bit, as their Windows colleagues have long done.
“The Mac Office team has been working on the transition and we’re currently preparing to release the Office apps in full 64-bit,” the Office for Mac team announced in an undated post to a company blog.
At the same time, Microsoft issued updates to the Office 2016 applications — Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint and Word — to users registered with the Insider program, a preview deal that, like the Windows 10 Insider plan, lets Office users grab early builds.
