Re: [PLUG] Perpetual license for MS Office, limited time

I feel kind of dirty posting this on a linux board, but apparently MS is, for a few days, offering Office Professional licenses on a permanent basis for $30. The alternative is having to rent it for $70/year.

The Mac offer expires at midnight tonight (12/25), the Windows offer expires 12/28.

Interesting... I wonder if Office 2021 licenses aren't selling that well.
There was a time where I would have gone for this immediately, but now I neither rent nor buy; I still use Office 2010, and Windows 7, so even if the 2021 version were "free", I'd pass on it. I prefer the older version, and it doesn't look like Microsoft will change my mind anytime soon.
