![]() I'd always be downloading a saved copy of that spreadsheet to be safe from a cloud cock up. Once its 'only' on Outlook I lose all control over the file, it feels, dangerous. Maybe I am in the wrong mood to be looking at it, been a shitty week so throwing on goofy shit on top is not helping. I don't even know if there are non web based versions of this stuff anymore but if 365 is all looking like what the free stuff does in Outlook, ugh, I am fucked. I'd say the same for Excel, it 'works' but I am not sure I'd trust it to not inadvertently do something if I clicked the wrong button - well, that and you lose about 15% of the screen for web browser is certainly annoying. I don't see a way to import the current file so that would really be a cock blocker but, call me old, I just don't even trust what it is or isn't doing. I just did some dicking around so clearly not a 'review' but Outlook in this format is really clunky, could be operator error. Buying a ticket on the upgrade train for Office for personal use is incredibly cheap given they allow it on so many different devices (and mobile devices) at one time. Relying on it for a "very important" spreadsheet is asking for trouble in the future. This is a very complex piece of software that is now 15 years old (released November 3, 2006). I'm not sure if it's just not advertised or if they've changed to a new set of software.Īnd I would be remiss if I didn't mention that Office 2007 has not received security updates since 2017, leaving any system with this software installed vulnerable to exploitation. My version comes with Access and Publisher, but I don't see that listed on the current offering. The personal plan for Microsoft 365 upgrades you to 1 TB (up to 6 TB with the family plan) of OneDrive storage plus the downloadable versions of Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote (non-Windows Store version). Is that app genuinely free, should I search out the 2016 variant (which only seems to be places like TechRadar or probably dodgier sites)? I can muscle through with my antique Word and I only genuinely use one spreadsheet (albeit a very important one).Īny free account includes 2 GB of OneDrive storage, Teams for personal use, Word Online, Excel Online, PowerPoint Online, OneNote (both the web version and the Windows Store version), To Do, Forms Online, Power Automate, Sway, Skype, some optional "family safety" to block adult sites from users of child accounts, and the actual webmail. If I open what is built in on my wife's Go3, it immediately pops up a 'start free trial' or 'buy Microsoft 365' and if I cancel that I see I can apparently use Office until the 28th (4 days from now). Can I actually get that for free legitimately - it isn't in the Microsoft store in a 2016 variant that I gather is a free one but there does seem to be an App but it doesn't mention a price so the app is free? I have been using 2007 for eons (it is a bit clunky for setting up sharing it across devices and I frankly have no idea how that really works). Then I stumbled across something about OneNote being free and thought, what the heck. And that is for 6 users on all their devices I believe well I really only have 2 users with 3 devices each (desktop/notebook/tablet) so would be good to go. Now I wouldn't use the others but I would pick up newer presumably slicker versions that would always be updated and kinda thought, interesting. I went to the the Microsoft website, just curious about how much something like that now would sell for and they have Microsoft 365 that I could get all those and more for 100 bucks a year. As part of all my new builds or notebook/tablet software loadouts I always grab my handy dandy legit bought Microsoft Office cd of 2007 and install Excel/Word and Onenote. (Over at WineHQ, they're looking for a maintainer for their page on OneNote.I got my wife her new Surface Go. Is this a signal that Microsoft decided that they need to compete with Apple by making their productivity applications free?" The partial rebranding of OneNote also includes some new tools like a program specifically designed to make it easier to take a picture of a whiteboard. Microsoft will continue to offer a paid version of OneNote with 'business-oriented' features (including SharePoint support, version history and Outlook integration). ![]() ![]() This means that a native edition of OneNote is available for most platforms (including iPad, iPhone and Android, but not Linux or Blackberry). A version of the program for Mac also appeared in the app store yesterday. Yakatz writes "Microsoft announced that OneNote, including the full desktop program, will be free for anyone who wants to use the program.
