Ondrej Holzman Microsoft introduced a new version of the subscription for its Office packages, which will be of particular interest to iPad owners. At the end of March, Microsoft after a long wait Issued very good iPad versions of their Word, Excel and PowerPoint applications, but you have to pay for their full functionality. Using office applications now becomes much more interesting with the new subscription model.
In addition to the one available so far Office 365 for Home newly Microsoft also offers Office 365 for individuals. With this subscription, it is possible to use office applications from Microsoft on one Mac or PC and one tablet, for 170 crowns per month or 1 crowns per year. This is a significant saving compared to the domestic version, which cost 700 and 250 crowns respectively.
You can subscribe to Office 365 on the Microsoft website and as part of Office 365 for individuals, in addition to unlocking all the features of the applications on the iPad, you also get access to the online versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint, 27 GB of online storage space and 60 free minutes per month for Skype calls.
On the other hand, Office 365 for Home offers an additional four PCs and four tablets on which the applications can be used, but this was usually of no use to the average user, so Office 365 for individuals is a logical step from Microsoft. Those who were considering whether to use Office to the full on the iPad now have another reason to do so. And it will be even more interesting when it comes out as well a brand new office suite for Mac, then the solution from Microsoft will also be extremely convenient for users of Apple products.
In total, he gets 27 GB of space, 7 GB for free + 20 GB for subscription.
Too bad there's no real subscription for individuals. I would be ashamed to call this solution "For individuals". An individual should be able to use the given software both at home on his desktop computer and also on a travel machine - a laptop. The iPad version is just an extra - it's not a full-fledged solution yet. This is not an "Individual" solution for the current period.
You're right, and Apple is much further along in this. There you buy the app (for Mac OS or iOS) and you can have it on all your machines, not just one. This is what I call a single-user solution. Regardless of the price. Microsoft overslept a bit on this one. :-) As a person with a desktop computer and a laptop, should I buy the version for five computers? :-D Ridiculous. It's like - buy one shoe or we've got a bargain set of five shoes here. Yes, you only want two? And why don't you take five of them? :-P
It will be interesting when it is possible to buy and use Word in the same way as Pages, see another contributor below.
