We have good and bad news. Let's start with the good. All who waited - they waited: Microsoft started selling its new Office 2013. Three main versions of this package are available for purchase: “ Office Home and Student 2013 ” (includes Word 2013, Exel 2013, PowerPoint 2013 and OneNote 2013), “ Office for Home and Business 2013 ” (Word 2013, Exel 2013, PowerPoint 2013, OneNote 2013 and Outlook 2013), as well as Office Professional 2013 (Word 2013, Exel 2013, PowerPoint 2013, OneNote 2013, Outlook 2013, Publisher 2013, and Access 2013).
Now for the bad news. Microsoft has priced these bundles. Firstly, it is worth noting that in the United States the version of the Office Professional 2013 package is offered for purchase for $ 399 (or 12 thousand rubles for recalculation). In Russia, the version of this package is offered as much as 17 thousand 999 rubles , which is almost 6 thousand rubles higher than in the West. We go further. The version of “Office Home and Business 2013” is offered in the West at a price of $ 219.99 (6,616 rubles), while we offer this package for 9799 rubles . But “Office Home and Student 2013” for Russian consumers will cost surprisingly less than in the West. There, this package costs 139.99 dollars (approximately 4,200 rubles), and we offer it for 3,499 rubles .
But the most interesting thing is that any of the applications available in these packages can be purchased separately. But here again a mess with prices. Tell me, please, what is the point of buying Microsoft Word 2013 at a price of 4899 rubles, namely, it costs so much as a separate application if I can immediately purchase the “Office for home and study 2013” package for 3499 rubles, which includes everything needed me and for the average user Office application? Other applications: Exel 2013, PowerPoint 2013, Outlook 2013, Publisher 2013 and Access 2013 are also offered for purchase for 4899 rubles. Only OneNote 2013 stands out, which is offered for 2,719 rubles.
Finally, we note that the cost of an annual subscription to Office 365 (which will allow 5 computers to use one “office” at the same time and quickly receive the latest updates) is 2,499 rubles, or 249.99 rubles per month.
Of course, few people will doubt that Office is a very useful thing, but Microsoft needs to revise its pricing policy. For those who are not deterred by prices, can visit where you can get everything you need.
