Is anyone interested in a world with free Microsoft Office?
I've logged onto my Live.com account (called "Windows Live") and created my first Excel spreadsheet. And I haven't paid a dime toward an Office license fee, nor am I breaking any license agreements or stealing or co-opting any software.
See "Office" there? Go to Live.com - sponsored by Microsoft - and sign up for a free account. You can use any email address for your account.
I use Robert@helpforthePC.com.
So buy that new PC or netbook - or dare I say tablet - without Office, but continue to work with Microsoft Office - online! You can save files on local drives, if you like. I recommend that, of course. Feel free to use the convenience of online storage, though. But you're responsible for your own backups!
** Update**
Windows Live has changed the Office link to SkyDrive. Hover over it, a drop-down box appears, and there's Word, Excel, PowerPoint:
Click SkyDrive, and you're in the cloud version of Office.
Call me if you have any questions about setting up a Live profile.
Live.com has changed - not a huge surprise, as change is inevitable in technology, it is... what it is!
