** Customized default setup (slightly modified using OCT - Office Customization
Tool)
- Skip EULA
- Shortcuts - Office 2016 by default decides to put all of the shortcuts on the
start menu WITHOUT a subdirectory splattered all over the start menu.
The included setup customization file place all shortcuts for Office 2016 suites
into a subdirectory Microsoft Office 2016, and Office tools into a subdirectory
Tools
- Default setup options- all programs and features will be installed by default,
except for Skype for Business (1) and Office Telemetry (2) - you can obviously
modify all setup options as you wish
(1) Skype for Business (why you should not install it, nor accept to install it
as an 'optional update' from Microsoft Update)
The thing is, default setup will install Skype for Business, whether the compute
r has the Skype for Business client already installed or not.
If you choose to install Skype for Business from Office setup, it will run throu
gh a Skype setup wizard, which prompts you to start Skype when Windows starts, i
nstall Skype Click to Call, set Bing as your search engine and MSN as your homep
age, and then asks you to sign in.
Here's where the confusion starts. What account do I use? If you select Skype Na
me and use your existing (personal/home) account it will configure the computer
to use two identities - Skype for your personal account and Skype for Business f
or your work account. If you select Microsoft Account, it will create a new Live
ID with your work email address - something you probably don't want to do.
(2) Office Telemetry (why you might not want to share your data)
Telemetry Dashboard displays the file names and titles of documents in each user s
Most Recently Used list, which might reveal personal or confidential informatio
n about the user or organization. The names of add-ins and other solutions that
are used by Office are also displayed.
The telemetry agent collects inventory, usage, and other application data and up
loads it to a shared folder, where it is processed by a service known as the tel
emetry processor and inserted into an SQL database. The Telemetry Dashboard conn
ects to this database so that it can show the usage of Office files, add-ins, an
d solutions.
** Bonus folder
- Previous versions uninstallers (Office 2016, 2013, 365, 2003, 2007, 2010)

** Compatibility with previous versions
Microsoft has removed the ability to run parallel versions of Office with the 20
16 release.
Part of the installer will search and remove any previous version and not permit
the operation of older components. e.g. an older version of Outlook 2013/2010 w
ith Publisher 2016.
In other words, don't mix Office versions.
You can use Microsoft FixIt Tools to manually uninstall / remove / delete previo
us Office versions (included in Bonus folder).
This should remove all traces of Office from the system.
