Windows 10: Microsoft is rolling out new Office app to all Windows 10 users

In December 2018, Microsoft launched a new Office app for Windows 10 users enrolled in the Insider program to simplify your work with the company’s productivity suite. The app is simply called Office is now rolling out to consumers and it replaces the MyOffice app which comes pre-installed on Windows 10 devices.

Microsoft says that the app will work properly if you use Office 365 subscription, Office 2019, Office 2016, and even Office Online which is a free web-based version of Office for the general public.

Microsoft’s new Office app is supposed to serve as a central hub for all the work that you’ve been doing with apps such as Word, PowerPoint, Excel, OneNote and others. The homepage of the Office app displays the documents that you edited recently with any of the apps.

Microsoft defines the Office app as a new great way to get started with Office productivity suite and jump into the work quickly. It allows you to open the Excel, OneNote, Word, PowerPoint files with just a click and it puts the focus on the document that you’ve been working on recently.

Spoiler Office 2019
Last year at Ignite, we announced Office 2019 – the next perpetual version of Office that includes apps (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, and Skype for Business) and servers (including Exchange, SharePoint, and Skype for Business). Today we’re pleased to share the following updates:

• Office 2019 will ship in H2 of 2018. Previews of the new apps and servers will start shipping in the second quarter of 2018.
• Office 2019 apps will be supported on:
  • Any supported Windows 10 SAC release
  • Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2018
  • The next LTSC release of Windows Server
• The Office 2019 client apps will be released with Click-to-Run installation technology only. We will not provide MSI as a deployment methodology for Office 2019 clients. We will continue to provide MSI for Office Server products.

 

Microsoft Office 2019 Will Run on Windows 10, and Only Windows 10

How is this news or surprising to anyone?

Especially when there are viable and arguably better open-source alternatives out there.. For those of us who don't use Microsoft Office, this isn't a problem.

 

Microsoft Office 2019 Will Run on Windows 10, and Only Windows 10

As reported yesterday, Microsoft changed the way how they license Windows 10 to their OEM partners. But buckle in folks, the changes just keep on coming. In what looks like an effort to push Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 owners to upgrade, Microsoft has officially announced that Office 2019 will only work on machines with Windows 10 and the next LTSC release of Windows Server. That's only the tip of the iceberg though. Unlike previous version of Office that came with 10 years of support, Office 2019's support lifecycle is shortened to five years of mainstream support and two years of extended support. Additionally, the client applications are only available with a Click-to-Run installer. However, Microsoft will continue to provide a MSI installer for the server applications.
