Office 365 Home Advanced
Microsoft itself, as far as I could notice, makes focus on selling a new Office in the "Office 365 for home extended" version. What it is? In fact, it is the same Office 2013, only with the monthly subscription fee. At the same time, one subscription Office 365 allows you to use Office 2013 applications on 5 different computers (including Mac), free adds 20 GB to your Skydrive cloud storage, and also includes 60 minutes of calls to regular phones in Skype monthly. The cost of such a subscription is 2499 rubles per year, payment is made monthly, while the first month of use is provided free of charge (right to enter credit card data will have to be removed during the verification of the map you will remove 30 rubles, and if you do not cancel the subscription during the month automatically).
By the way, the adjective "cloud", used in reviews in relation to Office 365 you should not scare you - this does not mean that it works only in the presence of Internet access. These are the same applications on your computer as in the usual version of the program, only with the subscription fee. Frankly, I did not understand what it cloudy is applied to the version "for the house extended". I can not call SkyDrive for the storage of documents, besides, it can be implemented in earlier versions of the package. The only distinguishing feature is the ability to download the desired Office application directly from the Internet anywhere (for example, in an Internet cafe) in order to work with the document. After work, it will be automatically deleted from the computer.
Office 2013 or 365?
I do not know if you are going to acquire a new Office 2013, but if you still go, then it seems to me, you need to think well before choosing which version you need.For example, take the version that, most likely, will be most in demand in the near future - Office for home and study 2013 (license price for use on one computer - 3499 rubles) and Office 365 for the house Advanced (subscription cost - 2499 rubles per year) .
In case you do not have a large number of computers (PC and laptop at home, MacBook Air at Wife and MacBook Pro, which you take to work with you), it is likely that the one-time purchase of Office 2013 will, in the end, will cost cheaper, rather than a monthly fee for a couple of years. If there are several computers, the subscription on Office 365 for the house may be more profitable. In any case, I recommend to think about what is suitable for you. In addition, both the other product you have the opportunity to try for free for a limited period of time. Perhaps you have already purchased one of the previous versions ofFFIC and you do not see a special meaning in buying licensed Microsoft Office 2013.
