Η Microsoft σταματάει επισήμως την υποστήριξη του Office 2007 την επόμενη εβδομάδα, οπότε όσοι εξακολουθούν να χρησιμοποιούν την εφαρμογή καλό θα είναι να αρχίσουν να σκέφτονται μια upgrade or moving to another suite.
Without support, Office 2007 will no longer receive technical support for issues that may occur, bug fixes, and fixes for security vulnerabilities that are discovered, Microsoft says in an advisory σελίδα who posted hoping for upgrades.
Additionally, the company explains that from October 31, Outlook 2007 will no longer be able to connect to the inbox of Office 365, so sending and receiving emails will not be possible from that date onwards.
“Office 2007, like almost all Microsoft products, has a support life cycle during which we provide new features, bug fixes, security fixes, and so on. This life cycle usually lasts 10 years from the date of the original versionof the product and the end of this life cycle is known as End of Life of the product”, explains Microsoft.
The company continues to advise its customers who are still running Office 2007 to upgrade to Office 365 ProPlus, Office 2016 or almost any other version of the productivity suite is still receiving updates.
Office 2013, for example, will still receive updates, but Microsoft advises users to switch to the latest version of the suite because it guarantees the most support. And obviously, Redmond says Office 365 is the best choice because it is offered as a service that always runs the latest releases without having to worry about the support fee.
“Σε αντίθεση με το Office 2007, το Office 365 ProPlus είναι μια υπηρεσία που βασίζεται που επιτρέπει στους χρήστες να έχουν access σε εμπειρίες του Office σε έως και 5 PC ή Mac και στις κινητές τους συσκευές. Επειδή το Office 365 ProPlus διατίθεται σαν υπηρεσία, υπάρχουν διαφορές ως προς τον τρόπο ανάπτυξης, αδειοδότησης και ενεργοποίησης του,” αναφέρει η Microsoft.
