Microsoft announces Office 2019 for Those Not Ready for the Cloud

Microsoft announces Office 2019 for Those Not Ready for the Cloud

Microsoft has announced its new updated office software suite; Office 2019. The new Office should will be released by next year and is aimed at users and companies not ready for cloud services.

The first preview versions of the new products are expected to become available mid-next year. The basic version will include Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Outlook. Office 2019 is the successor to Office 2016 which was released in the summer of 2015 writes myce:

Office 2019 will include new features for customers who are “who aren’t yet ready for the cloud”,  as Microsoft’s General Manager Jared Spataro writes in a blog on the company’s website.

While the company heavily focuses on the cloud, it recognizes that some companies prefer other ways of accessing their software. Spataro writes about that, “we recognize that moving to the cloud is a journey with many considerations along the way. Office 2019 will be a valuable upgrade for customers who feel that they need to keep some or all of their apps and servers on-premises, and we look forward to sharing more details about the release in the coming months.”

In its announcement Microsoft also reports that Office 2019 will come with new formulas and charts that will make data analysis for Excel more powerful and Powerpoint will get more visual animation features.

PowerPoint is in the base package because it's heavily used. It's used in place of slides of yore, in business presentations, by school and tertiary students.

Powerpoint is a program where you either use it extensively or never use it. The vast majority of people have absolutely no need for it. I agree that it is useful for schools and business presentations, but compared to the other office software, it's a niche program. That being said, I could see it being used in school editions and one of the more expensive business/professional editions, but I don't understand why it's in home editions or the cheaper professional editions. And just so you don't think I'm basing my thoughts on personal experience, I haven't and probably never will use OneNote, but I find that to be a much more useful program than Powerpoint.

The whole point of the 2019 release is to be offline etc. Did you read the article?

Yes, did you read my post?
I pointed out how what we want is simple and they will somehow find a way to screw it up.

So why complain about it now? Surely would of made more sense when 365 came out. At least they are keeping the standalone software though

Check the thread title and read my post again.

if you want your software to work every day, no exceptions, local copy is the way to go

companies "not ready for the cloud" are most likely not ready for fabricated problems

It is a long time no MS Office here, just the free LibreOffice.
