Office 2019 for Windows and Mac now available for download
« on: September 25, 2018, 02:33:29 AM »
During last year’s Ignite conference, Microsoft officially announced the next perpetual update for Office, Office 2019. Office 2019 will feature updated versions of the Office apps (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook) and servers (including Exchange, SharePoint, and Skype for Business).

At Ignite 2018 today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Office 2019 for Windows and Mac that comes with the updated on-premises version of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Project, Visio, Access, and Publisher.

The software giant announced the wider availability of Office 2019 for both platforms, introducing a plethora of features that are already available on Office 365 ProPlus. Office 2019 succeeds Office 2016 and it is comprised of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Project, Visio, Access, and Publisher. Keep in mind, though, that Project, Visio, Access, and Publisher can be accessed via Windows only while OneNote will be available to all Office 2019 users.

Since Office 2019 is a one-time release, Microsoft won’t be rolling out feature updates to the software in the future. Nevertheless, Office 365 ProPlus will continue to get new features in the future on a monthly basis with a focus on collaboration, artificial intelligence (AI), and security.
