What is ZiiTrend?
Will you subsribe to Microsoft Equipt (3 Office & OneCare) for $70/yr in 2008?

Microsoft just announce the to-be-released Microsoft Equipt which should be on the shelf by mid-July. Equipt will include 3 Microsoft Office and OneCare licenses (plus all the other not so useful software) for $70 per year. This is the first time Microsoft uses a subscription model for the US consumer market. And the price isn't too bad either in comparison with the $150 MS Office Home license. So if you have a family of 3 who uses Office and care to use their security software, $70/hr isn't too bad. Check out the details here:

So, the question is, do you see yourself subscribing to Microsoft Equipt in 2008?

    The new subscription model is the right move by Microsoft. I am hoping to see more companies following them.

    No, we are also moving to open source products. But I am glad Microsoft decide to go for the subscription model. Not to mention the price isn't outrageous.

    My Office 2003 is working fine. I might "upgrade" to OpenOffice next instead.

    If I have a family of 3 who can all use a computer yes, but it doesn't apply to me.
