Don't expect Office 2022 to have more than a seven-year support allowance. Microsoft cut short Office 2019's support, telling customers even before it shipped that the suite would receive seven years of updates, not the traditional ten (which its predecessor, Office 2016, did receive).Microsoft will thus almost certainly name the future suite Office 2022. Perpetual Office has long been on a three-year release cadence, and a second-half of 2021 launch would maintain that tempo.Some traits can be inferred from past Microsoft practice, however.
