Microsoft Office add-in deployment using MSIX
MicrosoftHi Jozef Izso, Windows and Office are working hard to enable M365 Apps (e.g. Word, PowerPoint, Excel) to be packaged and delivered in MSIX format with the same full extensibility that customer enjoy in Click-to-Run and MSI. When the time comes, we’ll communicate details and timelines as to when you will be able to package MSIX Office add-ins.
- Is there an update to this? Microsoft are separately telling people that MSIX is ready for mainstream adoption - https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-events/msix-and-app-attach-made-easy/ev-p/3971565
But aren't prepared to back the new MSIX format with one of their own key application suites - this is sending out conflicting messsages to your customers. Hi Dian Hartono any update on this?

@Naveen_Nookaany update on this?
Dian Hartono What's the timeframe for this? We have lots of customers who's IT departments will prefer or require MSIX deployment over MSI.
Jozef Izso We understand your excitement for this ask. Unfortunately this is all we can disclose and are unable to provide more timelines at this time. Please follow Office and MSIX blog for a formal announcement as more becomes available.

PM Lead, MSIX- John Vintzel what is the link to the blog for Office that you suggest would track formal announcements for Office adopting MSIX, as this conversation is already in the MSIX discussion community area as there isn't a dedicated Blog for MSIX?
