Got a new computer a few months ago and need to get office for it. Thinking about going with Office 365 but haven't heard anything about it. Any cons to going that route versus shelling out the $220 for the full version?

I've been using that version almost since it first came out. You will always have the current version, always have support and can install it on up to 5 computers. For around $120 a year I think it's a pretty good value, and since new versions of Office come out every couple years, I think it's a wash cost wise. I'm on a subscription plan for Adobe Photoshop/Lightroom, and the online subscription model for Quickbooks as well. I think you'll be seeing more of this subscription model for (what used to be expensive) software. I really see no downside, and it's easier to automatically pay $10 a month than to chunk down a few hundred $'s once every 2 or 3 years.

I do the same 5 users for $99 a year plus ipad versions as well.

 

Good value for us.

So if I do the $99 option I can download on my PC as well as my Ipad?

You can load it onto 5 PCs and 5 mobile devices. You also get 1 TB of online storage.

I have 365 as well and recommend it highly. Currently I have it loaded on 3 of my PCs, my daughter-in-law's PC, my macbook, and my Windows Phone.

Should I keep it to Windows machines or do you want me to include my Linux servers?
