Microsoft Office for Windows 10

[Justin Koenen]

Is it true that one has to pay a monthly rental for Microsoft Office w/Windows 10?

[Brett Luna]

Yes and no. Office 365 is by monthly/annual subscription. There are still standalone versions for one-time purchase, for home, students, and business. The Micosoft website has more info.

Along a similar vein, will existing versions of Office, and in particular Excel, work with Win10?

Or just download open office which is completely free.

I'm running Office Pro 2010 on Win10 with no problems.

+1 It does everything that MS Office does.

[James Tibbetts]

My thanks also folks.

$80 a year (watch for discounts to get it there) for 5 computers to stay on the latest version. It's a great deal. There's a 1 computer option that's cheaper too.

I also use the Office 365 subscription...it covers my BYOD work Macbook Pro for both MacOS and Windows 7, my personal iMac, my younger daughter's Macbook Air and my older daughter's HP all-in-one Windows machine. Plus four iPads and if we wanted office on the small screen, four mobiles. As Matt mentioned, it's available in a one-computer version, too. The advantage of the subscription is that it's always current software. But as noted in another post, MS still sells "boxed" versions if one wants them. I prefer the "real" MS Office products, but OpenOffice is certainly a worthy solution, too.

I was looking at what was included with Open Office....I don't see the equivelant of Publisher or Outlook....are similar programs included with Open Office?

Regarding Outlook, there must be better mail clients available. I know there are programs that do the same thing that Publisher does.

So.....Lee's comment about "It does everything that MS Office does".....is incorrect???

I think the basic Office package only includes Word, Excel and Powerpoint. Some of the more expensive versions of Office also include Access, Publisher and Outlook. I think that's the business version of Office.

So his statement is correct for the basic version and incorrect for the business version.
