What a surprise it gave to some Microsoft yesterday. Those responsible for the development of Office announced that Office 2019 – “the next perpetual update of Office” – would arrive in the second half of 2018.
That would not normally call too much attention, but the truth is that for some – and I include myself – the software subscription model that seemed to be imposed with Office 365 does not quite materialize. Paying to one time has its advantages, so Microsoft, I can only say one thing: thank you.
