a total fair offer as an alternative to purchase

If you like we used multiple computers in the household, the purchase of the license for the use of the Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium is worth considering. Thus obtained for less than the amount that a commercial version costs, the ability to take full advantage of Microsoft Office software on up to 5 computers (Windows and / or Mac OS). This law applies here, although only for a year, but it has in this period always the latest version. Ie during the subscription period of 12 months from the activation obtained all updates, which is not included in the purchase versions generally.

The installation on the computer takes a little and is also dependent on the available download speed since the delivery only contains a code and the software must be downloaded from the HP Office.

In addition to the most frequently used applications Word, Excel and PowerPoint contains the license - but only usable with Windows - even Access, One Note and publishers. As an encore contained landlines still a space in SkyDrive from for accessing files from multiple computers and 60 free minutes per month for Skype telephony.
Whether it is worthwhile to take advantage of this subscription, or to use a paid version, or even a freeware with possibly less comfort, everyone must decide for himself according to his needs or uses.

The subscription in itself I think is a fair offer, I would like to see in addition to a stripped-down version of the popular applications and suitable for one or two computers at a significantly lower price then.
