Microsoft have announced the UK selling price for Microsoft Office 2013 - a whopping £390 if you want the 'Professional' package! Interestingly though they have also announced a subscription based service so that instead of buying the software, you can pay either an annual or monthly subscription and use all the latest Office products. Office 365 will cost £79.99 a year or £7.99 a month - a discounted annual rate of £59.99 is available for students too. Subscribers are also provided with 20GB of SkyDrive cloud storage for their documents and 60 minutes of Skype calls per month.
Given that the subscription allows you to use the software on up to 5 PCs then for some people it might be a worthwhile investment.
Interesting article looking at whether it is worth subscribing on Time:
Should You Subscribe to Microsoft Office 365?
Alternatively you can just use Open Office which is free!
