Microsoft 365 is it worth it?

Microsoft's new scheme to sell its office software as a subscription plan that is around 100 bucks a year for up to 5 computers. It also allows users to save their work to the cloud in order to do work on another computer or mobile device. This service also updates over time while the CD version called Microsoft 2013 does not offer any updates.



For me I guess it would depend on the updates. If an update would consist of a newer version like from Office 13 to Office 17 so a four year span worth 400 dollars would be cheaper than to just buy another 300 dollar program which would be a total of 600 if you originally paid 300 for 2013 model. Otherwise it would not be a good deal since in 10 years you could pay 1000 dollars when in say 9 years (2007-2010-2013 all new Office programs) you pay around 300 each equaling 900.


Would you pay 100 dollars a year to use the new Microsoft Office 365?
