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.

 

How likely is it my Dell Inspiron 7558 will run Windows 10 version 1809 come October of 2018? (June 16, 2018)

Neither System Information nor Intel HD Graphics Control Panel tells me, they both just say "Intel HD Graphics". Just as expected, Windows 10 build 17134 much improves the responsiveness of the start menu and taskbar over build 16299 and I will ask whether
or not my Inspiron 7558 can run the successor to Windows 10 version 1809 come October 2018.
