Microsoft Will Sell Office, Windows as a Bundle (axios.com)

Posted by msmash on from the convergence dept.

An anonymous reader shares a report: Microsoft announced plans on Monday to start offering Windows 10 and Office together in a single subscription service. Microsoft 365, as the service is known, will also include security and management tools and come in two flavors: one for large enterprises and the other for small-to-medium businesses. The company didn't say how much it will charge for either version of the service.

    Works great for me.

    I already rent Windows and Office for $0.00/Mo, I'll gladly pay 0.00/Mo for Office and Windows.

    Activation period expired? Wipe the virtual machine, reinstall. As a bonus, I'd get new updated versions too!

    I have not activated Windows ever, nor do I intend to. I treat as a series of 30-day evaluations. I understand that every few weeks they patch it, so I use that as a new eval period.

    Shame that Windows never meets my expectations, so I can never justify a purchase or rental fee.
