I recently bought a new laptop with Win 8 loaded on it. After going through the prescribed fooling around to set it up for my uses (which DON'T include sharing photos, apps, videos, etc., and all the other new wave social stuff), I installed their Windows 365 Office program.
Of course I hadn't realized when I bought this suite that I wouldn't have perpetual license to it, but instead had only a one-year subscription. In fact, I realize it only after I installed it and went through the intro for it. So, yeah, I got it for $80 but I'll have to either renew it each year for $100 +, or it will go to "read-only". I can install it on up to five computers, but I have no need for that. In fact, it only works on Win 7 or Win 8, so it's useless on two of my units.
So there I'll be a year from now, either renewing or buying outright an Office suite. Damn, I despise Microsoft. And I'm not too pleased with myself either, for falling for this.
