Microsoft Office 2019 to Replace OneNote Desktop App with Windows 10 Version
#1
Quote:Office 2019 will only support Windows 10

Microsoft Office 2019 will give up on the desktop version of OneNote for the Windows 10 version, and the software giant is making the latter the new default in the productivity suite.

This means users who purchase Office 2019 and Office 365 subscribers would no longer be offered the desktop version of OneNote, but the Microsoft Store version.

OneNote for Windows 10 has received substantial improvements lately, and Microsoft says this is the reason why it makes sense to bundle it into the upcoming version of the Office suite.

OneNote 2016 for desktop would no get new features, but support will continue to be offered and the app will still be available optionally for anyone with Office 2019 or Office 365. Support will be offered, however, and as part of the extended support period, OneNote 2016 will get security patches until October 2025.

Office 2019 will require Windows 10:

William Devereux, OneNote Product Manager, says the synchronization engine available in the Windows 10 version of the app will be integrated into clients for other platforms as well.

“The app has improved performance and reliability, and it’s powered by a brand new sync engine (which we’re also bringing to web, Mac, iOS, and Android),” he said.

“You don’t need to worry about being on the latest version since it’s always up-to-date via the Microsoft Store, and it lets us deliver updates faster than ever before. In fact, over the last year and a half we've added more than 100 of your favorite OneNote 2016 features based on your feedback (thank you!), with more improvements on the way including tags and better integration with Office documents.”

There’s no ETA for the new Office version just yet, but it’s expected to launch in the fall of the year. Office 2019 will run exclusively on Windows 10, and Microsoft is also planning a Mac version, though in this case plans for the OneNote app are yet to be shared.
