Microsoft announced today that it will release Office 2021 for Windows and Mac by the end of 2021 and be supported for five years.
“We plan to release Office 2021 for personal and small business use later this year,” Microsoft corporate vice president Jared Spataro revealed today. “Office 2021 will be supported for five years with the traditional ‘one-time purchase’ model.”
Office 2021 will ship on both Windows and Mac and will include the OneNote app. On Windows, it will be available in both 32- and 64-bit versions.

<p>Good move on their part. Honestly if I could not get it from work for free (Office 365) I would not subscribe to it. I use maybe 5% of Office these days. Having a stand alone copy I can purchase once every 5 years or more, is a good option to have.</p>
