Post by: SilverZ06 on January 30, 2013, 06:19:35 PM
Just saw a news story on my local news that microsoft will no longer let you buy a license to MS Office outright. You will now pay $100/year subscription for up to 5 PCs  :huh  :mad:

Honestly windows is still better taken all in all. Can't play many games on Derpple, they're WAY overpriced, and frankly I don't want to have any association with the apple snobs.

You should have paid closer attention to your local news report.  You can still buy conventional MS Office, you just won't be able install MS Office on multiple machines or access the features of Office 365 (subscription version).

You forgot about Apple suing the other company because they made the product first.

No need to be a dick. I did pay attention. The news report specificly said no more conventional licenses. It wouldn't be the first time the news reported incorrect info.

LOL I noticed Newegg is selling their computers with a free downgrade to windows 7.  MS has a pattern of putting out bad products then years of selling software to fix their problem.

I don't have the need to steal software.  I buy legally what I use.

LibreOffice has more of a future then OpenOffice, I think. However, you might try both and see which you like better.

LibreOffice is an offshoot of OpenOffice, that happened, (I believe), after some of the developers had problems with The company that owned the sourcecode, or something like that. I switched at that time, and so far I like LibreOffice better.
