Microsoft introduced the new product
Equipt , in which users can work with some applications only by paying a subscription to them.
Equipt itself is software installed on the user's PC, and complemented by some online services. This product is the result of the implementation of the “software plus service” concept, which involves the integration of independent products with the services of a corporation.
Equipt includes Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007, Windows Live OneCare (security system), Office Live Workspace (document sharing), and Windows Live services (search engine, mail).
To access Equipt, the user will have to pay $ 69.99 per year. And so every year.
