SharePoint 2016 has Shipped!

To date our disclosure has predominantly been related to our core infrastructure investments as that’s the primary investment area when we begin development – over the course of the next several months we’ll begin sharing (as soon as we know) what specific workload areas will be advanced.SharePoint on-premises will continue to ship on a 2-3 year cadence whereas we update SharePoint Online monthly. Our objective of defining on-premises through the cloud will bring some near term parity, but online will receive new capabilities first. – Bill Baer, SharePoint Team blog.

It’s shipped, but it’s not done… more coming…
