We use to buy a CD ROM for the same price and have it forever. Now its a one year subscription. I think Microsoft office is going the way of cable in that its becoming more and more expensive and really its basically the same thing (sometimes no change is a good thing) .
Fast downloadable at a great price!
I did have to update my Microsoft account on my Galaxy Book, because I had a trial version (and that took me some time to figure out why the apps didn't work after download) but once I did that, I was up and running.
Office 365 works great. No issues.
LOVE it - and NEED it. Just wish it was more reasonably priced. I wanted to be able to use on my laptop and my daughter's - but she just uses my laptop when she needs an Office product. Love the features and I am getting used to the changes (although not sure why they change features that were fine as they were). While there are many quality free source options out there, bottom line is Office is still worth buying.
I've used Microsoft Office for so many years. I switched from PC to Mac about 3 years ago. I still use the Office software. This current software is outstanding. I downloaded it with NO PROBLEM whatsoever. There are a lot of ways to get help on the various Office programs I use Excel all the time for my business and personal projects. I have to look up a lot of "how to's", such as putting page numbers on the bottom of excel projects. However, I justI print the instructions out and keep them for the next time I need to use them. Apple is strong on its own programs. I looked over Numbers and Pages and they aren't bad, but I'm used to Excel and Word and I plan on staying with these programs. I am so glad Microsoft made the Office software so I can use it on Apple products! By the way, I think buying the software each year is smart. That way, you get the most up to date software and it's a lot less expensive than buying Office the other way.
Office 365 is great! Its a shame that I found out the office Programs on CD I bought and paid 800$ each in 2007 could not be downloaded anymore. Well now I got to pay monthly to have all the Microsoft programs ....they are always up to date now and no need of CD anymore.
I think its a reasonable monthly charge and you write it as an office expense.

You can keep working even if you are not online. All the tools you know and love, now built for even greater productivity and collaboration.
I needed Office for Mac cheap and in a hurry. This product gives me a license for one PC or a Mac in a download. No wasted time waiting for a shipment to come. It's always updated. Sometimes too much. I'm on the fast updates option. Now I don't have to use Parallels to go into Windows.
If you do any writing, spreadsheets, power Point, then this is a must have item. No company has ever outdone Microsoft in this software.
I have been using Microsoft Office since it was first released. I have loved the product for at least 20 years and this newest form is no different. One gets all of the tools they are used to having and the flexibility of use from any device. It also appears to be cost-effective. I will recommend it to others and continue to use it.
I'm not happy having to spend $69 more to get what I thought would be pre-loaded on the new Surface I just purchased. I needed this for work and it's a good product. I'm not sure if I want to spend that much money every year, but couldn't afford to buy it outright after buying the new Surface 3 and all the trimmings.
I purchased Office 2007 for students, but now use Word for work and wanted to use Outlook too. I'm so happy I took the plunge. Word works better now that it's updated, I don't have to drag a CD around because it's always going to be on the cloud and receive updates when needed. The entire bundle is working beautifully and I'll continue to pay for the service for the ease of use and no hassles. Love it!!!
