Publisher being discontinued

[smellincoffee]

I saw that Microsoft Publisher is being discontinued in October 2026, which surprises me given how much better it is at integrating images & text than MS Word. The news article I read indicated that Designer, Powerpoint, and Word are expected to pick up the slack. I've subscribed to 365 for years, and in part because it gave me access to the full Office suite: I use Publisher every single day at work, and whenever someone asks for my help creating brochures, I always reccommend Publisher over Word. Do we know if 365 subscribers will be compelled to uninstall Publisher from their PCs, or if MS simply won't support it beyond that point?

WOW! I know a lot of people who are going to be very unhappy about this.
