Microsoft Announce Equipt Office and OneCare Subscription Thursday, July 3rd, 2008
This is basically a rental/subscription model with an annual price of $69.99 a year and appears to be US only.
The package consists of Microsoft Office Home and Student and Windows Live OneCare.
OneCare is Microsoft’s security suite.
The $69.99 fee allows for installation on 3 PC’s.
Clearly this them tipping their toe into the rental/subscription market.
Office 2007 Home and Student consists of:
Word 2007
PowerPoint 2007
Excel 2007
OneNote 2007
But Not Outlook 2007, the thinking is you can just use a free online e-mail service like Live mail or Google’s Gmail.
