MS Office has been available for some years now and every so often it gets upgraded to a new version e.g. Office 2003, Office 2010, Office 2013 and now there is Office 365
With the shift in Microsoft’s focus to become a services company they have decided to show how serious they are about “service” with the release of Office 365. Office 365 is based on a subscription pricing rather than the conventional once off buy. It will set you back 1R64.99/pm or 1R649.99/pa for the full use of MS Office Professional on up to 5pc’s on the Home Premium subscription.
2Office 365 Features:
-
Office on 5pc’s / Mac’s
- 20GB storage added to your SkyDrive Account
- 60min of Skype calls per month to selected Countries
- Automatically upgrade to new office products once they are released
