One could probably infer that no?

No, it’s customary to add [2016] to links to old articles to make clear that it is not news.

Fair enough, I was referring to the fact that Microsoft buying PowerPoint didn't happen recently. But that wasn't clear from my comment.

The "How" was stripped by HN from the title. Edited and fixed it.
