[WinPartners] Office 2016 ProPlus

[Teddy Thomas]

I just tried to download through MIT's Office 365 and I'm still getting
Office 2013 :( According to something I found on the Microsoft website, it
appears Office 365 for Education won't be seeing it till Q1 2016:
https://community.office365.com/en-us/w/officeapps/office-2016-problems-and-solutions-and-frequently-asked-questions

(What's interesting is that I was able to successfully install the preview
several months back on a VM and activate off of MIT's O365 by signing in...
oh well)

It does, however, look like MIT could opt into a faster update branch
Microsoft is labeling "First Release" to allow for pilot users to get it
ahead of their business release schedule:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt455210.aspx#BKMK_FRCBB. I
wonder if that's something we'd be interested in, but I only skimmed the
article so am unsure that would be feasible to do...
