Microsoft Office 2019: It's very rare for a company to advise its customers to avoid a product being developed and released.
It sounds paradoxical, but it just seems to be does Microsoft with a series of videos stating that you should not buy the new version of Office 2019. Instead, the company suggests signing up for the subscription service Office 365.
Microsoft has published a series of comparison videos it calls The Twins Challenge. The company in these videos is testing them two Office 2019 and Office 365 applications in the same tasks.
The test results, you can guess from the article title: Office 365 completed the tests faster and more efficiently than the Office 2019 application.

Microsoft's post-message is clear: select Office 365 because it is faster and produces better results than Office 2019. Do not buy Office 2019, better sign up for Office 365.
Microsoft is using several strategies to make Office 2019 less attractive compared to Office 365. The company made Office 2019 available exclusively to Windows 10 and increased its price. Finally, the company announced that it will not add new features to the Office 2019 after its release. Only security and stability updates will be released.
Office 365 offers some advantages for the price, although the users of Office 2019 will only have to pay once for one license of the application. On the other hand, Office 365 users are billed per month or per year, and the app-specific license allows Office to be installed and used on multiple devices.
