Review by Amazon Customer

Office 365 is a good product that delivers near desktop capability to a web based version of office. You get to spread your cost of ownership over many months instead of a large upfront cost.

For those people that lightly edit a word document every now and then and do minor writing, then Office 2010 or even 2007, might be plenty for you. I am sure you can find a copy on ebay or amazon … for those that need much more robust capability and spend many hours a week on Office Software, then this type of model is great. You get updated versions in a continuous fashion, and get robust desktop and web versions of software that can handle a vast amount of work.

Overall, I like the new options that Microsoft has taken, and if this type of deal doesn’t suit you, you can always purchase the full version. It just costs a bunch of front.
