Bundleware: Microsoft's [still] playing too!

which I can then use until I decide I want to upgrade to the next version
But will there be any other next version except 365? I don't think so.

It's nice for me since I have a lot of educational porn
Well, if you find movies about electron transfers between zinc and copper erotic then there really is porn for all types.

It will be automatically upgraded to Office 16.

That's easy.
Just create a cheap Iron Man knockoff called "Zinc Man" and add a female android made out of copper and let them have fun.
With something about Zinc Man being too negative or so. And both of them having a lemon fetish.

I thought it was two sessions.
Maybe? I know it used to be, but perhaps it is a configurable option in 2012R2? I know our servers only allow one session without booting the other. 2008R2 did allow two sessions at a time. That shit changes like the wind.

That's what people said before 2013 came out. I bet there will.
-
Of course there'll be a new version of Office. 365 isn't a replacement, it's a subscription; when Office vNext is released, all 365 subscribers will just update to it like normal people.
-
Then I apparently didn't understand it. For work I only use Office very rarely (since I integrated work mail into my private mail client I don't even use Outlook and I normally don't write documents in Word) and I am stuck with 2007 there anyway (nobody uses it enough to warrant buying new licenses). And privately I don't use it at all, so I didn't even activate the 1-year license that came with the last notebook.
-
FYI, the next version of Office will be 2016.

Only because the time and frustration from your awful ISP outweighs the amount possible from any OS.
I'm sure Windows can beat his awful ISP

There are a lot of businesses that are averse to subscription models for things they used to buy outright. If they ever stopped selling perpetual licenses, I think they would see a mass migration to any of the other alternatives. They can sell it however they wish, but with enough small costs per month it becomes death by a thousand cuts.

Long term subscriptions are hard to price/budget and sap away productive capital by requiring a buffer against risk. Also, duration and interest rate risk.

I find the subscription for Office 365 handy. It's like £6 a month, and it's the equivalent of Office Professional 2013.
Over 3 years that's £216, where as the same license as a one off costs £390.Even the 5 install version is £288 over 3 years.

We just get a site-license for the full version of Office; we're big enough that it's worth it. It's also really useful in other ways, or is Office 365 available in an offline mode too? (That sort of thing is very useful on a laptop when you're on a business trip, something that many of our employees do a lot.)

Office is installed normally - you don't need to be constantly connected. Once every 30 days IIRC.
At work we have an Office volume license, I only use 365 on my personal laptop.

It charges you in wasted time and frustration.
I'd rather pay in money.
I suppose it boils down to how much you value your own time. Although you might be saying that all time spent using Linux is wasted...
Filed under: it's got, like, three different window managers so it must be three times as good, right?
-

I'm on Linux and I'm currently wasting my time. I think you might be on to something.

All time spent on WTDWTF is valuable!

All time spent on WTDWTF is valuable!
But if you're on Linux and on WTDWTF simultaneously<valuable wasting is the presumption>…

Talking about wasting time fighting the OS, yesterday I had some time to play around with a Windows tablet and damn it's complicated. Is nice that everything is hidden so you can focus on stuff but I felt like playing Fruit Ninja instead of making the IE menu to show up.
I also found frustrating the left menu thing where you grab an app and then place it back so it shows the task manager.
Why did they move the URL bar in IE to the bottom? Isn't UX standard to have it on top?
Why does IE needs to show tabs as preview windows specially in such a small screen?
