What’s the latest version of Microsoft Office I can buy? There is no subscription option for Office 2019. “… Office 2019 without a subscription.” – the only way to buy Office 2019 is a single payment or ‘perpetual licence’ bundle. Microsoft 365 software (was Office 365) is different from Office 2019. “subscribers always have the latest version of Microsoft Office -currently Office 2019” – WRONG, wrong, wrong. It’s now called ‘ Microsoft 365’, from 21 April 2020. Office 365 was the name for the annual fee ‘subscription’ version of Microsoft Office. “Office 365 and Microsoft 365” are the same thing. There’s so much wrong with those two sentences it’s hard to know where to start. A level of FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) is a long-standing part of Microsoft’s marketing strategy.Īdding to the confusion is this gem from a technology web site that Office Watch reader Penny J from Edinburgh forwarded … As a courtesy, we won’t name the author or site. Microsoft’s ‘fixed’ support policy is written in a light pencil that can be erased and rewritten at Redmond’s whim.ĭon’t feel stupid about this, we’ve seen Microsoft executives get confused. Microsoft keeps changing their product names, policies and features. The current Microsoft Office products are confusing, no doubt about it. It’s hard enough for people to keep straight what is the latest version of Microsoft Office without some web sites getting it horribly wrong.
