I am needing Microsoft Office that has Word, Excel, Power Point, etc. all included. I found on Microsoft.com that it is $149. Surely there has to be a cheaper deal that that.
Also I have seen there is a Microsoft Office 365. It is only like $35.00 and comes with more than just the main 3 programs.
I am not sure which to purchase and why a person would purchase one over the other. Trying to make the best purchase. [Reply]

Granted most people won't actually install it that many places, but in theory that's 30 installs of Office and 6TB of storage for $100.
I've shared it with my brother, parents, and grandparents who all had Dropbox subscriptions. As a group, we all just got a discount of $300 a year and got Office for free.
Just got this with my new work tablet. Pretty cheap. [Reply]
I once bought a CLONED MS Office version bootleg and it worked for about 3-4 months until an update and then it was all screwed up and I went to Office 365.
Never have to buy updates or worry about the latest or greatest. [Reply]

They never stopped, and I don't think they plan to. They're heavily pushing people to MS365, but they're basically taking snapshot versions every couple of years and selling them without a subscription.
Here's a link to buy Office 2019 if anyone really wants it.

Yeah my accountant has it as part of her saas program (which sucks, stand-alone would be way better). But it has to be a version. I’m sure that’s a primary reason [Reply]
