Over a week ago my 2 yr old comp slid out of the truck, hit the tar breaking the screen.....Instead of getting the screen repaired I just picked up a new comp figuring the cost of repair outweighed the price of a new comp.....

I use Microsoft Office for my Business Invoices, so yesterday I go to transfer old invoice to my new comp. & BAMMMM no Microsoft Office but an option to "Buy" for $69.....Seeing as Jack had me scheduled to work all day yesterday and the WC was on I put it off until this morning.....So I grab my CC to pay the DAMN $69 and it says $69 a year.....WTF.....


Is this something new with MSO or was it just because I purchased a Dell......It's one thing to buy the damn program but now they are charging to use it with a yearly fee.....:shrug:

I'm still using Microsoft Office 07 and have never been charged.

It's called Microsoft 365. Fun Fact - Microsoft 365 got it's name from the number of days they wait before fucking you again.

That being said, my boss got MSO 365 this year and she is happy with it, but she uses Word, Excel and Outlook daily.
