Is your wife telling
you to get Office 365 Home Premium?
For quite some time now, computer users may not be easily sold out on the idea
of software to rent. But of course
Microsoft has already offered great value for this very service in the form of
Office 365. Some 2 million licenses were sold during its first release and
there are some very legitimate reasons that people would take advantage of the
platform.
Office 365 is offered
at a reasonable price and some of its features will benefit those who have put
it to good use. Just some 99 USD a year, different users and groups in a family
can buy 1 subscription and then the productivity platform can be uploaded on as
many as 5 PC’s. You can even use a combo of PC’s and Macs.
So what do 365 go with
exactly?
You get all the
Microsoft Office essentials. These include 2013 vresions of Word, PowerPoint,
Excel, OneNote, Outlook, Access and Publisher. As far as system requirements go, you can get
it up and running on Windows 7 or Win 8 to 8.1 and not on lower versions of OS. It is also interesting to note
that once you install Office 365, you can add or discard certain PC’s from your
group of 5 devices at any given time.
Second, you get more
accessibility with Skype and SkyDrive. Of
course, just about anyone can get preliminary access to those platforms but
with Office 365, subscribers get considerably more storage space and with Skype
there are some 60 minutes a month of Skype calls. These are limited to certain
landlines and countries and regions though. There are also free Bing apps that
you might put to good use.
No one should assume
though, that Office Web Apps is unique to the 365 package. People who have a Sky
Drive account beforehand can take advantage of those applications, but the
difference is these specific platforms within Office are greatly enhanced in
365. The Web apps are also known for their consistency in terms of the
retaining the format of your documents.
Of course, it is
important to maintain your subscription. If your subscription has a reprieve,
then you may need to use alternative software to edit your files. Of course you
can use Google Docs should this happen, but online storage of files using the
365 platform per se will greatly maximize your capacities in file sharing and
file editing.
Finally, there is word
that subscribers of Office 365 Home Premium will be given a free upgrade to whatever the next version of ms
office is. See if these features suit your needs and lifestyle and if you feel
so inclined to pick-up 365, then subscribe today.
