Home Premium, Microsoft’s new cloud service for consumers. Today, the product is available for trial and purchase in final form, and I can report that Office 3. Windows Search 4.0 is an updated component of Windows that enables instant search on your computer.
Home Premium represents an amazing value, especially for families, thanks to Microsoft’s newly friendly licensing terms. But let’s talk money right up front so you can see how this works. That uses what’s called a perpetual license, meaning you buy it once and use it as long as you want. Most Office customers tend to skip Office versions, so you might use this product for up to 5- 6 years, the amount of time between, say, Office 2. Office 2. 01. 3. So this product will of course cost a lot more than Office Home & Student over 5- 6 years. But you also get more. It includes the equivalent of Office Professional 2. Word, Excel, Power. Point, and One. Note, but also Outlook, Publisher, and Access. That product costs $4. Perhaps it's more reasonable to assume one copy of Home & Student for the kids, at $1. Professional at $4. Suddenly, the math starts to make sense: Two copies of Office Home & Student plus one copy of Office Professional would cost $6. That’s about seven full years of Office 3. Home Premium usage. So while some may choose to pay extra to get a single copy of Office for just that PC, most, I think, will just use Office 3. Home Premium instead.) But wait, there’s more. Office 3. 65 Home Premium comes with many, many other benefits, and these, I think, puts this product over the top. Multiple device types. Today, Office 3. 65 Home Premium lets a family install the latest Office suite on up to 5 Windows PCs/devices and Macs. But in the future, this subscription will also include other device types. Microsoft isn’t talking yet for obvious reasons, but that has to include the i. Pad and probably Android tablets as well. Many families today have multiple device types, of course, and this subscription will in the future map nicely to these diverse technology uses. Instant PC/device activiation/deactivation. That 5 PC/device limit isn’t hard and fast either. You can, in fact, deactivate any PC/device install of Office 2. Office. com web portal and install the suite on any other PC/device, instantly. And you can reactivate that PC at any time and get back to work. Bonus. Office On Demand. If you want to access any of the Office applications you’re already paying for, but aren’t using your own computer, you can do so using a cool technology called Office On Demand, which streams the application to any PC from Office. Sky. Drive, and then uninstalls with no trace when you’re done. It’s like using HBO TO GO to watch an HBO series while you’re on the go, because you subscribe to the service back at home. Extra Sky. Drive storage. When you sign- up for Office 3. Home Premium, you do so with a Microsoft account, just as you sign into Windows 8/RT and Office 2. Microsoft account. The account you use to create the Office 3. GB of Sky. Drive clouds storage for the lifetime of the subscription. Speaking of which, while you do use a single Microsoft account to create an Office 3. Office on their own PCs will sign in with their own Microsoft account and get the personalized experience I wrote about recently, including their own settings sync, recent documents sync, Sky. Drive access, and more. Skype world calling minutes. You can sign into Skype with that Microsoft account, too, and the account used to create the Office 3. Home Premium subscription gets 6. Skype world calling minutes per month, allowing you to call any mobile, landline or PC/device in the world. Future upgrades. In the past, Microsoft would upgrade Office about once every three years and customers would upgrade to new Office versions once every 5- 6 years. With Office 3. 65 Home Premium, as with other Microsoft cloud services, Microsoft will be upgrading the products on a much faster timetable—I’m guessing quarterly at minimum—and you will receive these upgrades for free and automatically for the duration of your subscription. So when Office 2. This is a benefit that is hard to quantify, but the reason most people don’t upgrade to each Office revision now is the cost and complexity. These reasons no longer exist, unless of course you’re still buying Office the old- fashioned way. This will be particularly true of individuals with no need for multiple device installs. So when you install Office 2. PC or device, you get the whole suite. If you didn’t want Access or Publisher, for example, there’s no way to configure it that way. You get all of it. If you need more, you need to buy another subscription, and you’ll need to do that from a different Microsoft account. This is a fringe use case, yes, but I know someone will ask about it. But as noted previously, it will also be available in trial form on new PCs, including Microsoft’s Surface Pro. You can also purchase it from over 1. Best Buy, Staples, Dixons, FNAC, Challenger, Amazon. Microsoft Store. And I can give Office 3. Home Premium the best possible rating: I’m using it myself, as is my family. This is a tremendous offering, a win- win for both Microsoft and its consumer customers. And you just don’t get to say that very often. Highly recommended for the target audience.
