For those unaware, if you want to use the latest Office Suite (2024), but don’t want to pay a monthly fee, Microsoft still offers a one time purchase [0] for $149.99 which is now cheaper than the (new) one year subscription (with no cloud storage of course).

- climb_stealth 2y agoThanks for linking it! Looks like it is just a license for a single machine. So that still hurts :/

- lolinder 2y agoThat's for the Home version, the business one is here (and $100 more expensive): https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/p/office-home-business-2024/CFQ7TTC0PBM7 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/p/office-home-...

- globular-toast 2y agoIt's not free software. What did you expect? There's a reason the Free Software Foundation added freedom 0: > The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose

- int_19h 2y agoOne catch though is that this can only be installed on a single PC (and there's online activation, so it will actually check). So if you have a desktop and a laptop, you'll have to pay double, whereas subscription covers up to 5 devices, if I remember correctly.
- gabeio 2y ago5 years down the road that deal looks a lot less worth it.
- sureIy 2y agoBut also you'll have 5-year-old software that doesn't run on Windows 13.
- KetoManx64 2y agoIf I can run Office 2010 on Windows 11, I'll probably be fine with it on Windows 13
- brewdad 2y agoDepends if you use the cloud storage. 6TB of cloud storage for $99/yr with the standard Office Suite thrown in isn't too bad.
- wil421 2y agoI use it as an offsite backup for my photos. It took an eternity to upload but the delta uploads are not too bad.
- kibibu 2y agoDoes this have the crippled version of AutoSave that only works with OneDrive?
- netsharc 2y agoWow, that really is shit. Hey Microsoft PMs, here's a feature for you: "Want to save to disk? Add the 'Save to Disk'-subscription, just $2/month!".
- Andrew6rant 2y agoWoah woah woah, unlimited saves for only $2/mo? Clearly, we need an ad-supported $0.99/mo tier with a limit of 50,000 saves per quarter (additional saves $0.01 each). $2.99/mo is what gives you unlimited* saves to disk. * C:// drive only. External drives are limited to 10,000 saves per period) Contact sales for enterprise pricing
