Presumably, Microsoft will offer different versions of Office 2019 (including a version for the Apple Mac), but executives didn’t say. The Office 2019 suite will include the standard complement of Office apps: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, plus server apps like Exchange, SharePoint, and Skype for Business. Office 2019 will ship in the second half of 2018, Microsoft said, with a preview version scheduled for mid-2018. But for those old fogies who prefer standalone software, Microsoft announced Office 2019 on Tuesday. Microsoft would really like you to sign up for one of its productivity subscriptions: Office 365, or better yet, the new Microsoft 365.
