Microsoft Quietly Launches Ad-Supported Version of Office Apps for Windows

[tomek@vz]

Microsoft has quietly launched a new version of Microsoft Office for Windows that can be used to edit documents for free, no Microsoft 365 subscription or Office license key required. From a report: This free version of Office is based on the full desktop apps, but has most features locked behind the Microsoft 365 subscription. The free version of Office for Windows includes ads that are permanently on screen when within a document in Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. Additionally, this new free version of Office also only allows you to save files to OneDrive, meaning no support for editing local files. To access the free version of Office, just skip the prompt to sign-in when you first run an Office app. From there, you will be given the choice to continue to use Office for free in exchange for ads and limited features. In this mode, you can open, view, and even edit documents, just like you can with the web version of Office.

Prije par godina sam iz zajebancije rekao da idemo k tome da ćemo od 1920x1080 radnog prostora imati aplikaciju 640x480 u sredini, a oko nje sve samo reklame
Nismo daleko od tog

Ovo je skroz ok za penziće i one koji trebaju par puta godišnje otvoriti dokument i prepraviti nešto.

Nije free ako te trpaju reklamama.
Penzićima rađe instaliram OpenOffice ili LibreOffice i ćao.

Jel ga placas? Ne. Onda je Free ilitiga "mukte". Cak i u toj formi je kompatibilniji od Open/Libre odrona. I dalje mozes otvarat i editirat dokumente, jedino sto moras spremat u Cloud, ne mozes lokalno. Nekad smo bili super sretni i zadovoljni sto smo za dobar komad softwera morali par reklama pretrpit (rana Google faza). Kolko ce ovo biti stvarno korisno zavisi koliko su reklame penetrantne i koje su funkcije zakljucane. Za sve ostalo su tu sluzbene Office Licence - nove ili Retail rabljene.
