Office Delve PC Preview
Microsoft has released a public preview version of its Office Delve PC app for Windows 10. The app offers Office 365 subscribers an easier way to find their documents, and be notified on any changes.
Delve helps you stay in the know, powered by who you know and what they are working on. With this preview app for Windows 10, you'll be notified about document updates, and get document suggestions that are relevant to your work. You can also find people and get back to your recent documents and attachments, all in one place – all in one app. In Delve, you can only see content that you already have permission to access. This means your colleagues won't see your private documents, and you won't see theirs.
The preview app is only available for Office 365 school or business subscribers with Office Delve access. A version for Windows 10 Mobile is in the works.

SharePoint 2016 Notice
A point worth of pointing out with SharePoint 2016 is that there is no Foundation version, as outlined in the “What's deprecated or removed from SharePoint Server 2016” documentation:
“Previous releases of SharePoint Server included SharePoint Foundation, a free edition of SharePoint that included most of the core functionality and architecture provided by the commercial editions of SharePoint. SharePoint Foundation is no longer available in the SharePoint Server 2016 release.”
