In Microsoft's vernacular, "Semi-Annual Channel" represents more stable code that has been tested by some customers between March 13 and July 10, with Microsoft fixing any found bugs. Then on July 10, 2018, that same upgrade will be issued to the Semi-Annual Channel, the main distribution channel. (ProPlus is the suite that provides rights to the locally installed applications, including Excel, Outlook and Word, for 365 subscribers.)īecause the perpetual licensed version of Office 2019 will be built from code already released as Office 365 ProPlus, it's most likely that Microsoft will use the March 2018 feature upgrade for Office 365 ProPlus subscribers as the basis for Office 2019.Īccording to Microsoft's Office 365 ProPlus release calendar, the March 2018 feature upgrade will ship March 13, 2018.

That's the scheduled date for the release of what will be coded as the "Semi-Annual Channel" of Office 365 ProPlus. That reduction in projected deficits results primarily from legislative changes-most notably, a decrease in emergency spending.Six weeks ago, Microsoft said, "Previews of the new products will start shipping mid-year 2018."Ĭomputerworld's best guess for the beta? July 10, 2018. CBO’s projection of the deficit for 2019 is now $75 billion less-and its projection of the cumulative deficit over the 2019–2028 period, $1.2 trillion less-than it was in spring 2018. Over the coming decade, deficits (after adjustments to exclude shifts in the timing of certain payments) fluctuate between 4.1 percent and 4.7 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), well above the average over the past 50 years. In CBO’s projections, the federal budget deficit is about $900 billion in 2019 and exceeds $1 trillion each year beginning in 2022.

This report is the latest in that series.ĭeficits. CBO regularly publishes reports presenting projections that indicate what federal deficits, debt, revenues, and spending-and the economic path underlying them-would be for the current year and for the next 10 years if existing laws governing taxes and spending generally remained unchanged.
