OpenOffice, free for unlimited number of users. Can open, edit, and save proprietary MS Office file formats.

VPN for most people is just like paying to have a 2nd ISP....all your traffic still funneled through a server where it can be tracked...unless you're trying to solve some specific problem, I really don't see the benefit.

The price is worth the 6tb of onedrive storage alone (1TB per person up to 6 accounts). Having permium office is just a bonus. You also get a licensed version of Teams. Which allows you to hold group meetings for 30 hours. All free versions of teleconferance software limits you to 1 hour for group meetings (zoom, meets, teams).

VPN is not like having a second ISP. Most reputable VPN providers do not store any activity data (NORDVPN included). It's for anonymous browsing. Protecting your data when on public wifi that is potentially sniffable. Bypassing country restrictions for a number of use cases. And more.

You are spot on about the VPN theory. You're just giving all your data to the VPN provider instead of your cable internet provider.
Nord is a popular VPN but from my understanding they are HQ'd in Panama, which the US doesn't have jurisdiction. Yet it has never been revealed who actually owns them. So the information is technically not safe.

Telling people to VPN "for privacy" in the same breath as pushing One Drive is laughable. Also, what are you doing on public WiFi that is sniffable exactly? Anything sensitive should already be encrypted en-route. Using a VPN literally just funnels *all* of your traffic through 1 route, so anyone wanting to sniff what you were up to would just have to intercept that 1 route (and either try to decrypt, or do packet correlation of the traffic going through the VPN, to match up the unencrypted packets in/out of the VPN server and your connection).

Signal has no such limits on meetings, and it is free (and encrypted, and not tethered to the MS subscription ecosystem). Teams is bloated crashware; it's 2025 and video capture and playback is still a struggle when my PC from 15 years ago could do it without dropping a single frame.

If you already have o365 subscription; does this extends it or doesnt work for existing customers?
It extends it. You can extended it up to 5 years if you buy individual 365 subscriptions. https://support.microsoft.com/en-...173a0668e0

Yeah, I thought the deal is a bit better at times.
Agreed... this definitely seems like a bit of a downgrade from even the deal just last month.

Not a fanboi, just not a fan of MS. Why would you pay a "subscription" to use software that is free elsewhere? How do you benefit by paying MS $? How is that a slick deal?Also, it's 2025, and Office *still* has some of the *same bugs* that were present in the original versions of MS Word. Sad, but true. They can turn menus into ribbons, ribbons back into menus, but it's the same ol' stuff, 'cept now they have you convinced you should pay an annual subscription.
Because OpenOffice is a f*cking joke to anyone that really knows how to use Excel. Excel is the single greatest piece of software on the planet. If we woke up tomorrow and Excel didn't exist, it would cause a greater global financial crash than if a nuke was dropped directly on the NYSE.

what bugs of ms word are you talking about? care to list a few? you dont have to pay annual sub to use ms word. its free for everyone. just go to office465 site. the annual sub is for sync and cloud data storage.

libreoffice or openoffice "writer" version is horrible. they use diff fonts to view the doc. most of the time the "view" format looks totally diff on what its supposed to be designed for

As a new subscriber to O365, can you buy 5 and stack them to have 5 years worth? (Can you stack multiple, or perhaps they only allow one from this series of keys?)

In general, any of these deals that don't have the required auto-renew can be stacked up to 5 years, so you can buy 5 bundles and add all the O365 codes to your account for 5 years worth of service. The auto-renew versions are "managed" by the store or service you bought it from and generally can't be stacked beyond the current year. Plus it's a hassle to get them to release your account from their "managing" it.

How far out can you use the NordVPN subscription? If I don't activate it now, will I just get a year from when I start using it?
