I'm more surprised that this is news than anything else.

If you had asked me a minute ago, I could have sworn it's already a well known fact that they do this. They've been doing it since Windows 95 and explorer. At least.



What exactly does this mean given I definitely sit there staring at a loading / app launch screen when opening Excel if the app isn’t already opened. If it’s opened already, opening another file is much much faster.


For me it's exactly other way around. First window is fast, another file is slow.


Maybe they're only now making this public so people will believe that Office will start faster!


It changed with O365 a few years ago. Basically office is a big virtual app these days.
