I am considering which version of MS Office 2016 to use for developing office apps. I will be using Visual Studio Community 2015. I would like to know which suite version of MS Office 2016 is compatible with developing apps. I am worried that using a "Home and Student" version will not work with Visual Studio 2015 Community, like the "Professional" version will.
Also, is it possible to develop with Office 365 or is the desktop version required.
You have to have access to the product in order to test your add-in (this is true even before Office 2016). So purchase the edition that contains the products you want to develop for.
That being said, many of the office apps are available for free as part of Office Online, and as long as you are willing to develop web-compatible add-ins, you don't need to buy anything.

I need to develop an Add-In for Microsoft Excel and that will run on all operating systems and I need a strong collection set like (Datatable, Sorted list in C#).
Initially, I have developed one VSTO Add-In by using C#, but it is not running on MAC OS because MAC does not have COM technology.
The only Addin technology that works across a wide variety of end-points and operating systems is Office Addins, using Javascript, CSS and HTML.
See my blog post here for an overview of all the current Excel addin technologies.

I downloaded Visual Studio professional 2017 from the Microsoft website and installed the universal windows platform development.
I wanted to open a new c# project, but there were no options to console application, Windows Form, and a lot of others.
Which pack do I need to install from the Visual Studio installer?
You'll need to run the installer again and do "Modify" and make sure ".NET Desktop Development" is enabled to get Windows Form application project types you can also install "ASP.NET and Web Development" for web stuff or any others you might need, if have space + time install them all, if needed, but should only need to install the things you need.

I would like to learn C# and using Visual Studio 2013. There are a few different flavors of Visual Studio Express 2013: for Web, for Windows and for Windows Desktop. I am not really sure which one I should download. Can someone advise on this? I borrowed the book Professional Visual Studio 2013 from the library, but it seems that this book is targeted for the professional version of Visual Studio 2013. Would I still be able to use the Express version to work on the examples in the book?
Also, I want to learn WPF, WCF and Silverlight, do they come bundled with the Web, Windows or Windows Desktop flavor?
Thanks in advance.
You should download and install all 3 of the express edition since they are free and serve different purposes. However, I would suggest you to get a commercial version for many extra features and convenience.

Looking for a library to create outlook add-in's for outlook 2010, 2007 and outlook 2003
Found this http://www.add-in-express.com/add-in-net/video.php which looks very good but also pricey since it's a general purpose library for creating addins for other office products as well
Is there any other library for comparison and hopefully cheaper too ! google search is inadequate with a rather generic name such as outlook add-in library/tool which return results for existing add-ins etc.
thanks
You are looking for NetOffice. It is a (free) set of version-independent interop assemblies for making Office add-ins targeting different versions.
NetOffice also has some additional assistance for managing the COM references, Intellisense help on each method to show which versions of the Office application support that method, and then some additional tools to manage your multi-version add-in projects.
The library I've found most helpful for interacting with Outlook's mail items and such is Redemption.
I have made a search and found some interesting starting point.
Creating an Outlook 2010 Add-In
Outlook 2007 Add-in Using Microsoft Visual C#.NET
However is not an easy task to be compatible with various version of Outlook

I want to download VS 2010 Ultimate through my MSDN licence, but I don't see one for the 64-bit. There's Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010 (x86 and x64) - DVD (English), but is that just the server or can I use it for dev too?
There is no 64 bit VS 2010. If you can, you want to download the ultimate edition. It will give you everything you need to write along with the test tools etc. It will also allow you to access to use the premium edition code contract generation.
Team Foundation Server isn't an IDE. It's a code/project management tool.
Team Foundation Server is just that -- TFS -- the server side of Microsoft's source control solution. As Kevin said, Visual Studio itself is 32 bit only. There are a whole bunch of reasons why in this blog post.
