MS Office 2010 will be free, but with advertising
The release of Microsoft Office 2010 will take place next year, and yesterday there was official information that the simplest version of its version will cost $ 0.
As you know, the direction of office programs brings Microsoft even more money than selling Windows, so the management nervously reacts to the emergence of online competitors, because because of them MS Office is losing new users. People don’t make sense to buy an expensive office suite if it’s enough for them to start typing a browser.
To attract new users, Microsoft has decided to give a cropped copy of Office 2010 Starter Edition to all buyers of new computers. The package Office 2010 Starter Edition will include truncated versions of Word and Excel, as well as a module for displaying ads. Office 2010 Starter Edition will replace the little-known, but quite popular in the west, MS Works in the office software product line.

Naturally, Microsoft is trying to limit the distribution of Starter Edition as soon as it can. Even this free program cannot be activated without a registration key, which will be issued only to buyers of new PCs.
