Microsoft have pulled together their most popular productivity software, including Office Home and Student 2007, Windows Live OneCare, Windows Live Mail, Messenger and Photo Gallery. All in one easy to install package.
Equipt also installs the Microsoft Office Live Workspace connector on the Microsoft Office tool bar, so users can save documents to their own dedicated online workspace and invite friends and classmates to collaborate and share.
And as it’s a subscription based model subscribers will receive free upgrades to the latest versions of Microsoft Office Home and Student as well security updates for Windows Live OneCare as they’re released free of charge.
One subscription could cover the average household’s quota of PC’s in one fell swoop as the software’s licence cover up to 3 PC’s
Equipt is available 20th October from PC World for an annual subscription cost of £59.99

i'm all for ms developing new ideas and operating systems but where do they get off
charging a subscription for a service like this??!?
surely..if you buy office
you want to be able to use it whereever you are whenever you need it and not rely on
connectivity?? also what happened to actually buying the software, the way i see it with
all this 'online shizz' is that you never actaully own a copy of what you've paid for
and your productivity is then dependant on your ability to connect to their application
servers and file shares....unless thay want to throw in free mobile broadband with every
subscription?? think ms...not everyone wants to feel like they're spening money on
nothing...they like to see a physical product that always works regardless of
connectivity.
