Not much has changed since then. I just checked if MS has a download page. They do and it's https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/default.aspx

It's 1/3 surface ad, 1/3 category selection, 1/3 office 365 ad. The categories have a :hover effect, but you can't click the icon - only the text.

What are the top downloads offered?

    01 Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 14.7.7 Update
    02 Office Deployment Tool
    03 Update for Microsoft Office 2016 (KB5002138) 64-Bit Edition
    04 Update for Microsoft Office 2016 (KB4484211) 64-Bit Edition
    05 Update for Microsoft Office 2016 (KB5002160) 64-Bit Edition

Given that the updates are close to enforced in the new versions, WTF is that page? The downloading part of that email applies just as well today as it did then.
