Deep dives
Microsoft's Standalone Office 2024
Microsoft launched Office 2024, a standalone version of its productivity suite, which is available for both Mac and PC users. This version includes essential applications like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, but contrasts with Microsoft 365 as it won't receive continuous feature updates. The initial pricing starts at $150 for the home version and $250 for the home and business version, which includes Outlook and commercial use rights. This move caters to users who prefer a one-time purchase over a subscription model, signaling a shift to accommodate varied consumer preferences.
