Cheap Microsoft Office

Tired of paying for software over and over again? I know - for many people, Microsoft software is expensive, and since there are also free alternatives...but no, wait! I happen to know a lot of people that consider switching to a different word processor or spreadsheet application too hard, but they also complain about Microsoft software being too expensive. Well, here's one for you - cheap Microsoft Office is just around the corner!

Discount, Microsoft, Office? How come these words can be found together? Well, Microsoft thought of releasing a package of products including the Office suite, Internet security software, as well as other services, all coming for an annual subscription fee. Considering that you'll get Microsoft Office and a bunch of other tools for $69.99 per year, I guess we can call this "discount Microsoft Office," don't you think?

Formerly known as "Albany," Equipt includes the following applications/suites: Office Home and Student 2007, Windows Live OneCare, Office Live Workspaces, Windows Live Mail, Live Messenger and Live Photo. The plan is to start selling it in the US on the 15th of July, via Circuit City, and other outlets being expected to follow soon afterward.

I know that $69.99 per year doesn't really sound like a deal, but the good part is that you can load Equipt on up to 3 PCs for the yearly subscription fee, so $20 for a PC isn't that bad, after all...

I know, I know - there are always free alternatives around, but if you want to stick with the commercial products, why go for some discount Microsoft Office deal, when more interesting things are waiting just around the corner?
