Its a nice deal but too bad its got to be a deal. I've used OfficeLibre and now Im already used to it. They should have offered this as a standard price like a year ago. Office lost me forever. I know this dont mean shit to Microsoft but just saying.

It makes me so mad that Microsoft has moved to this stupid model. Used to be that you can get Office Home for like $15. For personal use, I've completely moved to Google Docs. The only thing that I miss is Office for my resume. I'll probably go to the library to update it if I have to.

and I love all things Microsoft, but this is a stupid stupid move
Serious question: are you aware that you can use online versions of Microsoft Office apps for free, just like Google Docs? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/m...or-the-web

If I have the standalone Microsoft Office 2013, is it worth upgrading and buying Office 2021?
The change in a word doc file from .DOC to the 2016 and later .DOCX is the big deal. Same with .XLS to .XLSX and etc etc.

DOCX will allow files to be edited simultaneously by multiple people.

If you don't do those kinds of things, not much else new here. And I prefer office 2010 aesthetics over any of the newer versions.

Funny, the only office component I can't find a satisfactory opensource replacement for is Outlook.

I've been using Thunderbird for some time and I really like it. However, I've had to tweak it a bit to get it to work as I want. The main thing was to make sure my sent emails were in HTML format.

Also, Google docs should be sufficiently powerful for a resume.

Still, I use Excel and Word for some cases in my business which requires using a preformatted Word document that doesn't convert to Google Docs well.

Agree. However, Google's version aren't nearly as powerful, particular vs Excel. Equally frustrating that Mac versions of office are purposely gimped by M$.
But I digress.
What are you doing at home that requires full Excel? I'm keeping Christmas Card lists and a few small spreadsheets. Google Sheets does JUST fine.

How long is it good for? Does it expire after a year or do you keep it as long as you have your Microsoft account?

Nope. I paid $29.00 a few years back for a lifetime (pay once) product key. Right now it is just under $34.00 for the same.

Same question. I'm still using Office 2007.
Aside from the much nicer user interface, I've noticed that the newer versions of Excel (2019 onward) include some newer exclusive formulas like XLOOKUP and MIN/MAXIFS that could make your life easier depending on your use case.

I'm not the user you were replying to but if you run some types of complex calculations or volatile formulas on your spreadsheets, Google Sheets has a tendency to slow to a crawl in the situations I've encountered.
