Office 2019 will run only on Windows 10

 

The company officially announced that Office 2019 Suite will be shipped in the second half of 2018. They have also announced that the preview version of the suite will start rolling in second quarter of this year.

 

The Office 2019 client apps will be released with the Click-to-Run installation technology only, and there will not be any provision of MSI as a deployment methodology of the client apps. But the Office server products can still be deployed using the MSI.

 

According to the official blog post, Office 2019 will provide 5 years of mainstream support and approximately 2 years of extended support. This is an exception to the Fixed Life cycle Policy to align with the support period for Office 2016.

 

Extended support will end on 14th October 2015. There will not be any change to the support term for existing versions of Office.

 

Point to note that, last year during Ignite, Microsoft announced Office 2019 -- the next perpetual version of Office that includes apps (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Skype for Business) and servers (including Exchange, SharePoint, and Skype for Business).
