And every month, new features show up just like magic. I wish I had this in college or high school. Being able to write handwritten notes, audio recordings and sketches on my Surface in OneNote and having those notes sync up with my desktop, fully searchable, in real time, is just magical. I would have zero problem paying $70/yr just for OneNote. OneNote alone is worth that much, and you don't even have OneNote with Office XP.

or pay $70/yr for Office 365 and get all of those things. You can pay $70/yr for Evernote, $96/yr for 1TB of Dropbox, $25/yr for iTunes match. At $70 bucks a year, it's one of the best values on the internet today. When those three years run out, I will have zero qualms about renewing. I got a free year of Office 365 when I bought my Surface 2, another free year when I traded it in and bought a Surface 3, and yet another free year when my first Surface 3 broke and Microsoft replaced it with another brand-new Surface 3. I dunno about you, but I'm thoroughly enjoying my 1TB of OneDrive space. To all those on a monthly subscription : Enjoy your monthly subscription bill! I saved a whole lot of money by not going subscription for all these years had Office had an alternate subscription based option back in 2002 to the present. Like you I paid one reasonable price and saved a lot of money not buying each new subsequent release.

I'm still using Office XP (2002) on my Windows 7 Professional main machine and it works just fine doing all that I want it to do. And that's how I've used Office since Office 95 and how I plan to keep using it until I die or they stop making a standalone version. More power to them.īut for the ordinary average user, Office 365 is a terrible deal compared to buying one copy of Office and using it for 5-10 years. I'm sure there are use-cases where it does make sense, and where that's what people want. Maybe you actually want five licenses for Office, and so Microsoft's $100 per year for the five pack makes sense. Maybe O2013 or O2016 have features you really want / need, so sticking with older Office versions isn't possible.

I picked up Office 2010 in 2015 for around the same price and haven't looked back. At $70 per subscription (according to the MS Store), that's $560.

My comments on Office 365 have nothing to do with patch frequency and everything to do with how terrible a deal it is for the majority of users.Īnd it is.
