Support for M365 Apps (O365) on Windows 2022
First off I would like to thank everyone for the feedback and apologize for the delay in responding to this thread. Your feedback has made a difference, and sparked many internal discussions... we have customers running M365 on WS2016 and WS2019 today, and we want to enable staying current and secure being able to upgrade to WS2022.
<UPDATED EDIT> In response to your feedback we have announced support for M365 on Windows Server 2022, please see this link for additional information:
Windows Server end of support and Microsoft 365 Apps - Deploy Office | Microsoft Learn
Again, thank you for your feedback and passion!!

To be sure:
If we understand this statement correctly, does this mean that the next version of Windows Server will also get MS365 support?
Thank you!
MicrosoftThanks!

- This puts healthcare customers like us in an extremely tough spot knowing they can't move as fast as MS wants everyone to move. Generally speaking, healthcare runs on extended support for many years before jumping to the next OS. That's largely due to the fact that jumping to a newer OS adds infrastructure costs across the board due to the additional resources required to run the newer OS.
- Yes, PLEASE stay the course! As has been emphasized in this thread, while the need to more frequently upgrade Windows Server is not ideal, it's certainly much preferred than having to use individual desktops (whether physical or virtual) in order to provide Office to users.
