[QUOTE="user 997, post: 617390, member: 997"] I'm still a bit on the fence. I have been using a monthly subscription with Office 365, but switched over to a yearly one now as it works out a couple of bucks cheaper a month and sort of hedged me against a potential future price increase for this year if the exchange rate keeps worsening. Microsoft looks like they are going to be bringing out a new edition every 3 years, so you kind of have to weigh it up against purchasing a couple of retail editions vs the single or 5 user subscription models. As we have multiple PCs and laptops its really nice to have the flexibility of installing Office on all of those. If you intend to standardize on a particular version of Office for a couple of years, then I think it makes sense to buy it outright. Office 2011 for Mac was awful, I actually got Parallels to be able to use the Windows editions in a VM, but the latest release looks to be a bit better, but I haven't played around much with it yet. MS Project and Visio you can also get on a monthly subscription basis when you check out the Office webpage, last time I think MS Project was around R250pm, which might be worthwhile if you only need the software for a limited period of time.
