Microsoft Launches Office 2019 For Windows and Mac (theverge.com)
Microsoft is releasing Office 2019 for Windows and Mac today. The update is designed for businesses and consumers that haven't opted into Microsoft's Office 365 service with monthly feature updates. The Verge: Office 2019 is essentially a subset of features that have been added to Office 365 over the past three years, and it includes updates to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Project, Visio, Access, and Publisher. Office 2019 will include a roaming pencil case and ribbon customizations across all Office apps. Microsoft is also bringing focus mode to Word, alongside a new translator, and accessibility improvements. Morph transitions, SVG and 3D model support, play in-click sequence, and 4k video export are all coming to PowerPoint. According to VentureBeat, which cites a Microsoft executive, the new versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook won't receive future updates.
The features I have been waiting for: roaming pencil case and play in-click sequence. Whatever they are charging, it isn't enough.
The chief issue my company is facing is contractual requirements of software being sufficiently up to date to receive security updates. In just over 24 months Office 2010 be EOL, meaning we have to upgrade sooner rather than later.
