Ah, just downloaded it, so far so good....

Bought a new pc a couple weeks ago, was about to buy a basic Microsoft suite, only need word and excel though read how Microsoft is basically getting out of the stand-alone business, want to go with subscription model so you can pay forever, like ~ $100/yr. Why pay the big bucks for something they're not going to support anymore? ('course, who cares, it's got more features than I'll ever know what to do with already so you could get 2019 and be done with it but...)

So yeah, guess I'm in a probationary stage but so far looks good! I'm happy with it. If it checks out I will send 'em a few bucks.
