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.

I'm still using Office 2010. It doesn't feel outdated at all yet and works well with Win10. But it's good to know MS still does make real Office versions and not only the NSA supervised cloud stuff.

Somebody should tell them already that their branding/versioning doesn't really make sense.

I'm not saying which version I use lol.
Its really old but hasnt fallen short of what I need yet, amazing! And I make use of many elements.
These white versions that need the cloud or internet connection, rubbish.
Why break something that works well. I suppose they have to make it as bad as Windows 10 to appear immutable.
The brief is simple from our perspective, lets see how badly they screw up the 2019 version.
They surprise how well they can screw up something simple to achieve well.
