At least this suite is dated slightly into the future, for just a tad extra shelf longevity. I would have thought Office would eventually follow the footsteps of Windows, though, and drop the dates by now.

Or we could just call it Office '68 since we're finally getting real-time collaboration features[1].

- orionblastar 11y agoWindows dropped the dates because it lasts longer than Office or Visual Studio versions does. Microsoft makes more money selling new versions of Office and Visual Studio than it does with Windows. So Office and Visual Studio can still go by dates and expire into the near future. Windows 10 is sort of like Mac OSX, the last version but will keep getting updates. 10.1 will be next followed by 10.2 etc.
