MICROSOFT OFFICE FREE.

MICROSOFT OFFICE FREE.

MICROSOFT OFFICE FREE seems an impossible future but we may even see sometime in the not too distant future Microsoft Office pre-installed in NEW PC's.
Although Microsoft Office costs in the U.K. the approximate price of a desktop PC the formidable cost has only really interested those users ouside large and small business's who have come to depend on Microsoft Office as their Home Office must have.
The thought of Microsoft Office becoming free has always been a pipe dream until now.
Microsoft are testing two new type business models and in both the customer will not need to purchase the Microsoft Office software.
The first idea is that customers will have to subscribe to a business plan.
The second which certainly seems more attractive is the idea to provide free software but this will be ad supported.
Microsoft Office for free is a clever strategy, but ad-supported ? I'll believe this when I see it and not before although the boffins are convinced it will work.
I can just see it now... in the middle of a serious and solemn word document and up pops an ad for something not so dignified such as constipation medicine. Ad-supported ? unworkable I reckon.
