It really depends on what the prices are. With your example, it's obviously a bad deal. But in this case, Office 365 is $150 a year ($12.50 per month), while the packaged version of Office Professional is $400. So you get a good 2.5 years of use out of it before the curves cross.
- peto123 13y agoYes, and there is exactly the dilemma. After I buy Office, I expect to not upgrade it for at least 5 years, if not 10. (but surely not only 2.5)
- joelhaasnoot 13y agoI'm still running Office 2007. Bought it for $50 as a student and it's still fine.
- bentcorner 13y agoI recall reading somewhere that Office's biggest competitor was its previous version.
- wmeredith 13y agoThis is most definitely true for Microsoft and Adobe. Hence, they're both switching to subscription models.
