Office 2016 launched in September and includes many improvements that target enterprise customers such as Outlook Groups, Email Attachments, built in Power Query support, and real-time collaboration. The Office Team recently started a program similar to the Windows Insider program called Office Insider which gives customers early access to new features and functions before they are generally released.

    Anyone able to login? I keep getting hung-up on the “Create Profile” step after logging in. Granted, I’m using a a Mac. Wondering if I need to use IE….

      OK tried again on a PC – same issue. I get to the “Create Profile” page and when I click “Save Profile”, it’s like the button isn’t working. Tried in Safari, Chrome and IE (Windows 10 box).

      Anyone having these issues?

        Reaching out to someone at MS about this Steve. It is saying my E3 is not valid.

    Same exact issues as Steve. Can’t login. It asks me to fill out my “Profile” then the save button does nothing.

    That said — looking forward to MS fixing this! Will be huge inside my company.
