Where is the cheapest and best place to get Microsoft Office?
I am needing Microsoft Office that has Word, Excel, Power Point, etc. all included. I found on Microsoft.com that it is $149. Surely there has to be a cheaper deal that that.
Also I have seen there is a Microsoft Office 365. It is only like $35.00 and comes with more than just the main 3 programs.
I am not sure which to purchase and why a person would purchase one over the other. Trying to make the best purchase.

Office online is free, you just have to create a Microsoft account. It's the web versions of the apps, but mostly fully functional.

If you want the physical apps, you have to go with O365, which is $99/year.

Do you know anyone who is a student or teacher and has a school email address?
Check here to see if their school qualifies for free Office. There's also a link there, "Not Eligible? See More Options" that will get you office 365 Personal (1 user) for $69.99/year.

I pay $1 a week for O365 on 5 devices because it was easier than proving the teacher discount fo $100 for the retail version. Can cancel at any time.

That is such highway fkn robbery.

That's why I'm still using an older version of Office on my home PCs. I think I paid like $70 for a three seat license, from Microsoft.

That would be my first recommendation but some people have to have Office for compatibility reasons.

I use Apple's suite (Keynote, Pages, Numbers) and I never have any issues. Also don't have to pay MS for their bullshit.

Yeah, getting away without using M$ Office is a neat trick if you can do it. But most need it. For me, Excel alone is well worth the money. Too, though those alternatives named here are often adequate they aren't as smooth or as seamlessly integrated as M$. Apple is fine but 95% of the world uses M$ for business and it then becomes a pain in the ass.

Other than some bullshit that I hate like VLOOKUP, I can do everything I need to do in Numbers and save it in Excel format for other people to use.

I actually prefer the Apple suite, it's more user friendly. Imagine that.

Don’t you blaspheme cowboy!

Who doesn’t love VLOOKUP? What kind of heathen are you?

Like Vail, my world runs through excel and it’s worth the money.

If I were in a different industry it would probably be google docs.

It's my own damn fault. I made the conscious decision to trade in Visio for Excel.
