Ditch Microsoft 365, this lifetime license pays for itself

A Microsoft Office lifetime license costs only half of one year with Microsoft 365, except you get to download and use it forever.

If you don't have to interoperate with others, I'd ditch Microsoft Office entirely. It's a lot of licensing headache and money. Just get LibreOffice - which you can patch forever for free vs a "lifetime" office license that will stop working eventually due to either security patches or new computers and operating systems.

I still have a version of Microsoft 2016 windows desktop with Outlook, PPT, Excel and Word on my PC and it works fine. No subscription fees because we paid for it once. I prefer the desktop version of PPT to the Cloud version.

I also have Quickbooks 2018 desktop for my business. I would like a newer version but refuse to pay the extortion...err...subscription fees which cost as much per year as what I originally paid for the desktop version.

Microsoft 2021 (we're in 2024 people) with no updates, no security patches and likely interoperability issues? For life? What a bargain. Sign me up.

Microsoft Office 2013 is still working fine for me. I was a Visual Studio developer so I got it with an Office license key that works on an unlimited number of PC's. I never plan to upgrade.

I've been using LibreOffice for well over 20 years. Since I dual-boot Linux Mint Cinnamon with Windows 11, any docs I make in one OS can move to another. Not to mention, using it in both means I don't have to learn new software on one vs another. Yes, it is free, unless you want extended support, but with countless forums online, you don't need it.
